FOR  FREAKY QUEERS DARLING DEVIANTS & GENTLE FOLK Come watch some gorgeous post-porn with us! The films selected for this screening are centred around the theme of :
PRISON ABOLITION//NURTURANCE CULTURE

What does that mean?
PRISON ABOLITION: the opposite of a system that isolates, punishes and shames as one that occurs in communion and nurturance. We think that reflecting these values in our intimate practices can help create other ways of responding to conflict and abuse within our spaces. So we are screening films centred on:
COMPASSION – COMMUNION – COLLECTIVISM – RECIPROCITY – NURTURANCE – TRUST- HONOURING.

What is Post porn?
In short it was a wave of porn that came about to extend sexual and sensual narratives of what could be considered erotic as well as redefine bodies, fluids and whatever surrounds us. It tends to be freaky, artistic and seeks to carve out space for bodies that are normally pushed aside in intimate practices! It’s about having more control over the creation, about fair work practices and expansion!
