THE GREAT UNCLOTHED OAK GROVE
PHOTO PORTRAIT
Shed your clothes to support the oaks! Join photographer Jack Gescheidt for the Unclothed Oak Grove Photo Portrait from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday at the Memorial Oak Grove in Berkeley to create a photograph for the TreeSpirit Project—naked humans in communion with trees—depicting our interdependence with trees in general, and with this specific grove of native oak trees threatened by state plans to uproot them.
Gescheidt's photographs celebrate the connection between human beings and trees through portraits of unclothed people among trees. All ages and sizes and shapes and physical ability of human are welcome. The photographer is expecting hundreds of participants to attend, showing their reverence for nature by posing nude safely, peacefully, tenderly for a few minutes among this specific grove of native oak trees threatened by state plans to uproot them.

AN ITALIAN CLASSIC AT
PACIFIC FILM ARCHIVE

The series is open to the public as space permits, but it’s generally a good idea to get tickets well ahead of time, as the screenings often sell out. $4-$8. 2575 Bancroft Way.
