Ecosex Manifestos

In 2011 we wrote an Ecosex Manifesto with some help from Natalie Loveless and Sha LaBare, and officially launched the ecosex movement. By the power vested in ourselves, we announced that the Earth was our lover, that ecosex was a new gender identity, and that ecosex could be an environmental activist strategy. We described the different kinds of ecosexuals, what we do, and how we operate as activists. Figuring that the Manifesto would grow, change and evolve over time, we called the first iteration Manifesto 1.0. In June 2015 we would write a shorter, more poetic Manifesto 2.0 in collaboration with artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña for a parade performance, and most recently in May, 2020 we wrote a Manifesto 3.0 to recognize the COVID 19 pandemic. Over the years, we’ve pollinated the Ecosex Manifesto widely around the world. It has been published in books, journals, exhibited in galleries, displayed in a Manhattan storefront window, printed two stories tall in Spanish on the wall of a Costa Rican building. Feel free to give us suggestions to improve on our Ecosex Manifesto. Copy it, display it, translate it, and distribute it as it’s an evolving piece. Let us know how you use it and send us your translations to add to this page.
