Episode 3: Michel Foucault’s The History of Sexuality
Kink does not exist in a vacuum. In Deviations, hosted by Karada House, Apikoros and Barkas will discuss historical and contemporary texts that have shaped kink, sexuality, and our understandings of ourselves.
Each episode consists of a 120 minute unscripted conversation that is unscripted. It is not expected that the audience will have read the texts in advance. Each session is designed to summarize as well as discuss.
Apikoros and Barkas will be joined by Addie who will serve as moderators and direct questions from the audience.
