What is “The Nude Revolution”?

The Nude Revolution was a movement that started as a think tank back in 2006. AANR was interested in figuring out how to make naturism relevant again to an ever dwindling segment within naturism, the young adults. So they set a few friends to the task of revamping the formula. This was the beginning of a naturist movement nicknamed “The Nude Revolution”.

In 2007, out of the NUYA (Nude University and Youth Ambassadors) program emerged “Vita Nuda”. A fresh name and a fresh logo united this group and new efforts were made to find other young adults interested in trying out this old but newly revamped version of naturism. We accomplished this by taking naturism to social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube, and while that seems commonplace now, it was an unheard of idea then.

Over more than a decade this movement has spun off groups that have added a fresh flavor to the naturist scene and has had some global impact, influencing similar movements as far away as Mexico and Australia. Even today, if you do a Google search for “Vita Nuda” you’ll find images of the logo and memories of the early movement.

The larger purpose of “The Nude Revolution” is to keep naturism current by creating things that didn’t exist before. The movement is about connecting people and keeping naturism fresh and relevant. Over the 16 years, social media has become far more prevalent than anybody could have predicted. And a trend has emerged where most social media platforms are quick to censor any form of non-sexual nudity, but seem to turn a blind eye to blatantly sexual content, especially among celebrities. With multiple major naturist accounts being deleted (GNA at 230,000 members on IG), it seems naturism doesn’t really have a reliable home on social media. So, it seems the time has come to create something that didn’t exist before.

The goal of this new incarnation of “The Nude Revolution” is to create a community that promotes a sense of friendship, respect, acceptance and ideally act as a place that can unify this movement more globally. We hope to create a safe place that allows you to be your most authentic self.
