Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens

Beth Stephens & Annie Sprinkle create multi-media art projects about love, sexuality, and queer ecologies. Collaborating since 2002, their practice is in many ways an Earth art laboratory. From 1973 to 1995, Annie was a sex worker. She morphed into a performance artist and sex educator. Beth Stephens is an artist, and since 1994, she has been a professor at the University of California Santa Cruz in the art department. Collaborating since 2002, Stephens & Sprinkle have been fine tuning and expanding
the ecosexual gaze, creating their own kind of eco-activism, making environmental films and performances, producing symposiums and workshops, doing walking tours, co-directing the E.A.R.T.H. Lab. IN 2008 Wedding to the Earthand in 2011 their Ecosex Manifesto launched the Ecosex Movement. Amongst numerous accolades, Stephens & Sprinkle were official documenta 14 artists, received a 2019 Eureka Fellowship, and a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship. Their book, Assuming the Ecosexual Position—the Earth as Lover, is available from the University of Minnesota Press. It chronicles their 22 years of adventures in love and art.
