Community Action Center incorporates the erotics of a community where the personal is not only political, but sexual.  This project was heavily inspired by 1970’s porn-romance-liberation films which served as distinct portraits of the urban inhabitants, landscapes and the body politic of a particular time and place.  Community Action Center is a unique contemporary womyn-centric composition that serves as both an ode and a hole-filler.  Sex, sexuality and the complexities of gendered bodies are inherently political.  This project is a small archive of an intergenerational community built on collaboration, friendship, sex and art.  The work attempts to explore a consideration of feminist fashion, sexual aesthetics and an expansive view of what is defined as ‘sex’.  Directors Burns and Steiner worked with artists and performers who created infinitely complex gender and performance roles that are both real and fantastical, set to a soundtrack of music culled from the worldwide sisterhood.  The artists have created a reason to reflect on the cultural realness of homo-grown lesbian sexuality, and the work aims to be a hedonistic and distinctly political adventure.
