Fem(me) Fire & Butch Power – Joan Nestles erotic legacy:

Joan Nestle is one of the major voices of the lesbian underground: a Jewish fem from the working class, radically queer, unabashedly lesbian, firmly feminist, uncompromisingly sex-positive, and staunchly anti-fascist. She is a co-founder of the legendary Lesbian Herstory Archives in New York, as well as an activist, community organizer, and author of groundbreaking texts that show how pleasurable politics can be – and how political pleasure truly is. As part of the exhibition series “Lesbian Legacies”, Lara Ledwa and Birgit Bosold talk about Joan Nestle’s commitment to lesbian history, about the community-building power of archives, and about their fascination with the erotic energy of butch–femme relationships.

An event in cooperation with etece Verlag.
