EU Windows on the World 2017.03.24 - Kristyn Komarnicki and Jessieh Ruth Averitt

<div><div>"Porn: An Intergenerational Dialogue" &nbsp;- Kristyn Komarnicki is director of dialogue at the Sider Center and the founder of Oriented to Love, a program that convenes intimate conversations around the often divisive topic of sexual/gender diversity in the faith community. She is 54, has been married to her husband for 27 years, and has raised 3 sons. In her experience, learning and growth happen best in dialogue and community, which is why this Windows presentation isn't a lecture but an interactive exchange. Jessieh Ruth Averitt is a 25-year-old write, actor, and social researcher. A graduate of Bennington College, she studied Sexual Trauma, Recovery and the Practice of Drama. Her work focused on the unsayable nature of the traumatic experience and non-conscious representations of pain. She continues her study of "the unsayable" as the co-artistic director of Other Case Notes Ensemble in Philadelphia. Kristyn and Jessieh Ruth are close friends who enjoy diving into and hashing out difficult topics - together, in passionate conversation. They grapple, they endeavor to articulate their beliefs to themselves and each other, they ask hard questions and push each other to discover the whats, hows and whys that lie behind it all. Committed to mutual vulnerability, they invited you to observe - and eventually join - them in an intergenerational conversation about pornography, sex, agency, and sexual freedom.</div></div>
