Ari's fumbles with homemade dildos as a teen dyke riot grrrl leave a lasting impression that doesn’t evolve until years later, with an experience of embodied sex she’s never forgotten.
This episode was written, sound designed & produced by Ari(el) Mejia and edited by Nicole Kelly & Phoebe Unter with editorial assistance from Kaitlin Prest.
Part 1 of e4e, a mini mini series where two artists seek experiences where their minds and bodies are connected.
In this episode, you heard Ari’s Mom, her highschool girlfriend from a found microcassette made in the summer of 2001, her wife Angela, a recording from their wedding thanks to Phoebe Unter, bell hooks, Searah Deysach, owner of feminist sex shop early 2 bed, and music by Bret Koontz and James T. Green.
The queer chorus you heard were the voices of Ari’s generous, thoughtful, and beloved friends. Thank you all. You know who you are.
