Beaver is a multi-disciplinary exhibition, performance, and panel discussion delving into contemporary feminist perspectives on pornography, gender performance, and female sexual self-expression. Inspired by artist Naomi Elena Ramirez’s work of the same name which interrogates porn culture and female sexual expression through dance and visual scores for the body, this pop-up event, curated by Ramirez and Kristen Sollee of the sex positive feminist site Slutist.com seeks to create discourse, awareness, and community.

How do cultural representations of female sexuality in advertising, mass media, and mainstream pornography affect how female sexuality is expressed? How does race, class, and culture impact female sexual self-expression, slut-shaming, and the threat of sexual violence?
