Naturism and politics

Evan Nicks argues that naturism is inherently political, even if not partisan. By challenging societal norms, advocating for body autonomy, and resisting the commodification of identity, naturism becomes an act of rebellion. Nicks discusses the importance of fostering dialogue, educating the public, and embracing naturism as a movement for personal and societal freedom while maintaining inclusivity and respect.

Diary of the Astro-Nudes

“Silent Night!”

By
Ahmed Raafat

Panel 1: Santa Claus sneaks around inside a house at night, carrying a sack over his shoulder. Snow falls softly outside the window. Panel 2: Santa freezes in surprise as he is caught by Ar and Arreya, both standing stark naked in the house, staring at him. Panel 3: A reverse shot shows Santa looking at Ar and Arreya, who appear just as surprised as he is. Panel 4: Santa, now standing in front of Ar and Arreya, scratches his head with one hand, looking embarrassed. Ar and Arreya watch him curiously. Panel 5: Santa clutches his head in frustration, closing his eyes tightly. Panel 6: Santa prepares to leave as Ar and Arreya examine their Christmas presents. Arreya holds up a festive sweater, looking unimpressed, while Ar inspects a pair of pants with equal disappointment.

Women in Focus with Dr. Vian Aziz

Naturism is not something that is typically associated with women of Middle Eastern origin, given the social expectations from that part of the world that make even female body autonomy feel like a challenge, let alone body acceptance. But for some, the combination of academic education, cultural migration, and an innate sense of what is right creates a mind open to the possibility.
