Publication accompanying the exhibition of the same name at Kunsthall Trondheim (Norway) (9 Dec.2021 - 6 March 2022). Sex Ecologies explores pleasure, affect, and the powers of the erotic in the human and more-than-human worlds. Arguing for the positive and constructive role of sex in ecology and art practice, the texts and artistic research projects attempt reclaiming the sexual from Western heteronormative narratives of nature and reproduction. The artists and writers set out to examine queer ecology through the lens of environmental humanities, investigating the fluid boundaries between bodies (both human and nonhuman), between binary conceptions of nature as separate from culture, and between disciplines.
