As Charles Baudelaire stated, “Sexuality is the lyricism of the masses.” Society’s views of sexuality are constantly changing. Spend an afternoon re-examining the ways we think about and engage with sexuality. Richard Schwartz, a renowned therapist, presents the keynote address, followed by presentations by art historian and curator Jonathan D. Katz, and a literary gender-free performance by Jade Sylvan. Join us as we explore how art, human relationships, and the written word have changed our views of sexuality.
