What constitutes a porn? A recording of two beings coming together in pleasure? What constitutes an erotic experience? An eye-blink, a brush of tentacles, or vibrations in the air touching the filaments of the inner ear? In “BE NOT AFRAID," two extraterrestrials from different worlds, embodied by Huff and Rossetti, meet on earth, investigating the meaning of bodily pleasure.

Jensen Huff (they/them) is a Philadelphia-based artist, performer, and somatic practitioner. They have studied Pochinko Clown Technique with Donna Oblongata, trauma-informed & anti-oppressive Somatic Sex Education with Caffyn Jesse, and have performed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art as a member of “Philadelphia Assembled”, a co-operative project depicting radical community building and active resistance, initiated by artist Jeanne van Heeswijk.

Halo Rossetti (they/them) is an Australian, Philadelphia-based writer, director, performer, and artist, worldbuilding positive futures in the husk of the capitalist experiment. In their work, through the production of film, video, and performance, they practice worldbuilding as a means to convey their belief that decolonizing, queering, and regenerating are linked processes.
