When you take your mother to explicit performance art.

I went to Marina Abramović’s erotic, explicit new art show – and there was an awful lot to take in | Adrian Chiles

The ‘grandmother of performance art’ and I both have Slavic roots. But I didn’t recognise any of her 14th-century Dalmatian fertility rites – and neither did my mum, writes Adrian Chiles

#Naturism has nothing to do with gender, body type, skin color or social background.

We are all equal and on the same level when we shed our clothes and experience our world as our creator intended.

We're not all weird. Some are a little alternative. Just enjoy the simplicity and allow your body to become itself. You won't even need as much sunscreen after a while or even any if you're not laying in the sun all the time.

What I learnt from living naked in a medieval Spanish village for a month

"What I learnt in Spain is that these places aren’t just about nudity: they’re experiments in intentional living."

Paul the Naked Hiker 👣 @nakedhiker.bsky.social · 11d

I've always referred to it as "naked" hiking, but naked is natural, so maybe I should say "natural hiking".

If I just said "hiking" and people understood what I meant, that would be even better, but as naked is natural, but not normal, the term needs clarification!
