With the rise of the Internet as a digital medium, sexual minorities, in particular, discovered the liberating potential of these new technologies.
People who felt out of place in socially determined categories were provided with the opportunity to break with these set categories on the Internet and meet like-minded people. In this context, pornography turned out to be a means to attain one’s own sexuality. Instead of just being sexually arousing, pornography for many also had clear political connotations of emancipation and non-conformism. This program focuses on a number of examples of (digital) emancipation of sexual minorities, from practical, artistic and theoretical perspectives.
The program includes a presentation by Trouble, performances by Wendy Delorme and Judy Minx and several films. After midnight, the Multiplicity of Desires party breaks loose with Volksmenner DDR & de Volledig Vrouwelijke KGB (Cruise Control) and a performance by Ravage Ravage. In the afternoon, Wendy Delorme and Judy Minx will give a workshop.
