Amsterdam Day 3: Intellectual Debate and Burlesque Zombies
Posted at 11:17 AM Jun 25, 2008
The whole reason I traveled to Amsterdam was to give a talk at the Pinched festival finale. Marije Janssen talked a bit about the festival's goals in my Four on the Floor interview with her last Friday, but essentially the goal of the festival was to bring together people who both make and think about sex media. The day part of the program involved two different panels of speakers discussing representation, sexuality, and porn, and then the evening gave way to a talk by Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephens, and an evening full of performances and dancing.
Pictured above is the panel after my talk on "Making Sex Media for a Radical Future."

Next Monday's Naked City TV episode is about Pinched.
