Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island is hosting a week long celebration of nudity! The University will be holding numerous activities during this week and they will all be held in none other than your birthday suit! Hit the jump for more details!
Universities nationwide have taken part in sex and nudity awareness campaigns around campus and now Brown University is celebrating its second annual Nudity Week.
“There will be nude cabaret, nude open mic night, nude body painting, personal testimonies about nudity and a panel on how issues like race and class intersect with nudity and body image.” reports HuffPost
“All events will be held in the Production Workshop Upspace in one of the campus buildings. The organizers were clear to note on the Facebook page “absolutely no phones, camera, or bags will be allowed in the space.”
The yoga event promises to “stretch your body perhaps in ways that it hasn’t been stretched before”, coordinators are asking that those attending bring their own personal towels but thy will be providing mats!
Last years event was a success:
“It’s been incredible to learn that being naked is just fun!” Pacheco-Fores a then Browne Junior, told the Daily Herald in September 2012. “Penises, vaginas, boobs, butts — body parts that used to make me feel awkward and uncomfortable before now I just see as another part of another beautiful body.”
Organizers told HuffPost in an email that last year’s attendees were “extremely respectful, and we haven’t had to worry much about our fellow students acting immature at these events.”
“Many audience members commented that it had a profound effect on the way they thought about their own bodies and the role that nudity plays in our society on an everyday basis,” they said in an email.
The week long “Nudity in the Upspace” event starts September 30th and ends October 5th, and as they say on their Facebook page ” All bodies Welcome!!”
