Poking the squid: What we can learn from animal sex

By Perrin Roosevelt Ireland, environmentalist and artist

In delightful watercolor comics of pregnant seahorse dads, spider oral sex, and the four-headed echidna penis, Perrin Roosevelt Ireland takes us on a wild biodiversity ride through queerness, infidelity, consent, divorce, sex change, and even sexual cannibalism in the animal world. Featuring the work of Mount Holyoke researcher Patricia Brennan, Poking the Squid celebrates how assumptions about sex are shifting.

Pizza will be served - Open to the Public.

Co-sponsored with the Art Department.
