" OUR BODIES SPEAK FOR US: Beyond mere words, our nakist bodies signify our ideals of human liberation. They represent the genome of the human species, surprisingly similar on every continent.
Our semantic nakity conveys messages of hope, and of danger. Our bodies speak for our souls.
Our anti-costume calls for freedom now. Our public nakity, open to sun and fog and wind, calls for understanding that our Mother Earth is mortal, and that we must come swiftly to her rescue.... "
