Embracing radical intimacy in environmental activism Humans’ relationship with the Earth and with non-human life—and, in fact, with each other—is fraught with exploitation on the basis of difference. But do the differences justify our disconnect? When and how is it important to acknowledge difference, or else to blur the line in favor of radical connectedness? Curator and researcher Zoë De Luca Legge (@eternaltadpole) explores the intersections of art, activism, and academia within the realm of ecosexuality. Through her writing, she deconstructs traditional understandings of nature, environment, and identity, elevating artistic parallels between interpersonal eroticism and eroticisation of nature. She posits that innate human desires have long been tied to ecological flourishing and that ecosexuality, as an extension of queer ecology, is an effective response to the divisive values of the contemporary world.
