The 'University Society of Naturists at Memorial' seeks to explore and challenge traditionally held ideas about bodies and self-expression. According to member John Godfrey, "Unison stands for each person's right to their own peaceful expression...regardless of where you're from or where you're going, whatever hateful or hurtful lessons you've been taught about how you need to look, how you're supposed to act or dress, how you must identify as only one thing and that's all you can be, or even how you won't find a place to belong. Our expression helps us tear holes in that."
In this clip, CHMR's Hans Rollmann talks to Godfrey about the group, its aims and activities.
