Join us for our second year of radically inclusive documentary films about positive sexuality. This free documentary series offers a new space to discuss sex, culture, and sexual fun! Each film will be accompanied by delicious snacks and followed by relevant conversation. The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is pleased to host this series as a new expression of the Hull-House Settlement's historic advocacy for sex education. Originally created and curated by Clarisse Thorn, the 2010 series is curated by a diverse committee of SEX+++ attendees including activists, sex workers, scholars, and kinksters. To recommend a film for the series, please contact ljunkin@uic.edu
