Interfusion Festival X (IFX)

In a society that profits from our self-doubt, it can be difficult to fully embrace and celebrate our bodies. Body Show and Tell is a powerful tool to help heal body shame and foster body positivity. Got a uniquely shaped birthmark, a secret tattoo, or a scar with a story to tell? Stretch marks, belly rolls, body hair, or facial features you have complicated feelings about? A part that doesn’t accurately represent who you are—or perhaps one that newly does? A booty shake that just won’t stop? We want to see it! Whether you want to be tenderly held in your vulnerability or celebrated in something you’re proud of, this session will provide a space to support you in a positive relationship with your body, and a chance to support others in theirs. 

In small groups, each participant will get an opportunity to show and tell about a part of your body. Then you will have the option to invite your groupies to ask questions, make observations, or explore your body part with their other senses. If you prefer to just be witnessed with no feedback or interaction, or ask only for compliments, you can do that, too—whatever feels most healing or celebratory for you. No body parts are off limits—full nudity is welcome in this session, but not required. There will be a section of the room designated for people who want to keep clothes on, and you can choose to be in a group with others who share specific identities that are important to you. Every body is welcome!!
