You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges. \nFriends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are.

SUMMARY:Rope Hangout
DESCRIPTION:  \nA rope hangout is an event where we learn from each other\, peer-to-peer\, get to know each other\, and do rope in a relaxed atmosphere\, regardless of experience level. You can hang out\, have coffee\, tea\, or soft drinks and chat with people if you don’t feel like tying. Being there is enough! \n  \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nCost: 5-15 Euros sliding scale at the door \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: all levels welcome \nWhat to Bring:  yourself\, optionally ropes  (we can also lend you ropes) \nSolo or Partnered:  both works\, this is peer-learning so partners are not necessary \n  \nSchedule: \n6.45 pm-7:05 pm: doors open (to ensure a safer space\, we ask you to be on time so everyone can see who is present at the starting circle)\n7:15 pm: starting circle\n7.30 pm – 10:00 pm: peer learning and social hangout\, space is chatty and there is no music \n  \nFormat: \nYour role as the participant is to share your knowledge and to get inspired by other people. You ask for help from other participants and help others whenever needed\, especially in risky or emergency situations. There is at least one facilitator present for the entirety of the hangout. The role of the facilitator is to offer the space and be the contact person in case of safety concerns. The facilitator is a participant\, not a teacher. The power of the facilitator is over the space and safety\, not over the knowledge shared. \n  \nAre you a newbie? \nWelcome to the hangout! You can attend at any time of your rope journey. We recommend sharing what you know with others even if you just began to tie. Teaching is the best way to learn! To get started with your rope skills\, take a look at our workshop schedule.\nWe recommend for you arrive at the beginning of the night. We have an introduction circle and go through the code of conduct and other important information. You will also see who else is there. If you can’t make it to the starting circle\, please contact us in advance.\nYou can always attend Rope Hangout alone and find new friends when you get there. If you feel socially awkward\, like many of us do\, bring someone you trust with you\, or send us a message in advance so we can prepare to give you extra support. \n  \nSafety Concept \n  \nYou need to bring proof of vaccination or proof that you are “genesen” (official proof of having had Covid-19 within the last 6 months) in order to be let inside. \nHand disinfectant provided in multiple places. All surfaces are disinfected and will be disinfected in between use. \nSpace is limited to give more space for everyone. \nWe frequently air the space and also use fans for more circulation. \nWe partially partition off spaces for tying for more safety/intimacy. \nYou must wear a mask at all times\, with the exception of you sitting in a dedicated tying spot with a partner/partners of your own household.

All surfaces are disinfected and will be disinfected in between use. \nSpace is limited to give more space for everyone. \nWe frequently air the space and also use fans for more circulation. \nYou must wear a mask at all times. \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity\, meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, \nFriends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity\, needs\, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community. \nWhen you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgment to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume\, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others.

SUMMARY:Kink und Trauma
DESCRIPTION:  \nTrauma ist ein großes Wort. Es kann aber auch einfach dafür stehen\, dass Schmerz (auch psychischer Schmerz) und Verlust zum Leben gehören. Verletzungen können heilen.\nUm Peter Levine zu paraphrasieren\, der mit seiner Arbeit zum Thema Trauma und Heilung wegweisend ist\, ist nicht die schwierige Erfahrung oder der Unfall selbst das Problem. Es ist die traumatische Energie\, die im Körper gebunden ist und die so schwer zu bewältigen sein kann.\nDiese Spannung im Nervensystem kann gelöst werden. \nWenn eine Ent-Spannung möglich ist\, hat dies einen positiven Einfluss auf die Gesamtsituation des Körpers und des Geistes. \nWenn wir BDSM machen\, uns fesseln\, sanft schlagen\, uns bösartig erniedrigen\, mit Liebe quälen und uns mit Humor bestrafen\, dann hat das mal mit Trauma-Erfahrungen zu tun\, mal nicht.\nWenn es mit Trauma-Erfahrung zu tun hat und wir uns dessen bewusst sind\, und wir gut miteinander kommunizieren können\, ist das Heilungspotenzial enorm. \nIch erlebe dies sehr oft in meinen professionellen Sitzungen und genieße es\, einen schamfreien Raum anbieten zu können. Oder die erwünschte Scham einzuladen…\nGleichzeitig ist es nicht Aufgabe einer Domina\, das gemeinsam Erlebte im Nachgespräch als „therapeutisch wirksam oder heilend“ einzustufen\, es sei denn\, unsere Klientinnen tun dies selbst und laden mich zu solchen Gesprächen auf der Metaebene ein . \nDie klare Rollenverteilung – Profi\, Klientin – ​​erleichtert oft den Austausch im Studio. Die Grenzen und Bedingungen der Begegnungen sind festgelegt. \nIn privaten Spielszenarien kommt es oft eher zu einem intensiven Austausch darüber\, was genau einem gut tut und was das mit unseren Lebenserfahrungen zu tun hat.\nEs kann jedoch schwierig sein\, vorsichtig mit traumatischem Material umzugehen\, Grenzen aller Art zu kommunizieren und aufrechtzuerhalten und Rollen und Erwartungen in intimen Beziehungen immer wieder neu zu definieren. \nWichtig für alle: Was sind traumasensible Kommunikation und Verhalten? \nIn diesem Workshop geht es in erster Linie um den Erfahrungsaustausch in großen und kleinen Gruppen.\nDavor und danach werden Körper- und Atemübungen vermittelt\, die ausgleichend auf das Nervensystem wirken und sich als „Erste-Hilfe-Maßnahme“ bei Nervosität\, Panikattacken oder schiefgelaufenen Spielsituationen bewährt haben. \n  \nZur Workshopleiterin \nEmma Steel interessiert sich für Kommunikationsexperimente\, die Konventionen brechen\, für Humor und dafür\, wie wir unseren eigenen inneren Biestern näher kommen und gleichzeitig professionell oder authentisch bleiben können. In ihren Workshops ist es ihr wichtig\, dass Fehler machen und alle Fragen stellen erlaubt sind\, um so ein gemeinsames Lernen zu ermöglichen. \nSie arbeitet seit 2006 als Domina und seit 2013 als Coach. \n  \nDetails \nDatum & Zeit:  30. Oktober 2021\, 11-18 Uhr \nFormat:  workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: Deutsch \nMinimum Knowledge Level: Dieser Workshop richtet sich an alle queeren Menschen und Frauen*\, die bereits BDSM-Erfahrung haben. Er ist nicht für absolute BDSM-Neulinge geeignet. \nWas ist zu bringen:  Ein Objekt\, dass dich beruhigt\, zum Beispiel eine Decke\, ein Stein etc. Snacks für dich. \n \nSolo oder mit Partner:  All Konstellationen sind willkommen\, jede/r braucht ein Ticket \n  \nWas wird inhaltlich passieren \n• Übungen zur Regulierung des zentralen Nervensystems \n• Atemtechniken \n• Was ist Trauma informierte Kommunikation / Trauma- informiertes Verhalten? \n• Erwartungen\, Bedürfnisse und Intentionen \n• Meditation zur Körperwahrnehmung \n• Feedback und Fragen \n  \nSicherheitskonzept \nDieser Workshop ist Teil unserer Covid-19 Richtlinien. \nBitte bring einen Impfnachweis (mit Ausweis zum Abgleich) oder einen Test (keine Selbsttests)\, der nicht älter ist als 24 Stunden. Ein Genesungsnachweis ist auch erlaubt. \nIm Haus steht überall Hautdesinfektionsmittel zur Verfügung. Alle Überflächen werden konstant desinfiziert. \nWir lassen viel Platz und nur eine kleine Anzahl an Teilnehmer*innen zu. \nEs wird mehrmals gelüftet. \nDie Masken bleiben die gesamte Zeit auf\, außer ALLE Beteiligten einigen sich darauf\, dass die Masken beim Sitzen abgenommen werden dürfen. \n  \nFür wen ist diese Veranstaltung gedacht? \nLGBTQIA+ beschreibt das gesamte Spektrum nicht-mainstreamiger sexueller Orientierung und/oder Geschlechtsidentität\, d.h.: lesbisch\, schwul\, bisexuell\, pansexuell\, transgender\, nicht-binär\, genderqueer/fluid\, queer\, intersexuell\, asexuell\, aromantisch\, agender. \nFRIENDS sind Menschen mit allen Arten von geschlechtlichen und sexuellen Identitäten\, die sich der Notwendigkeit\, der Bedürfnisse und der Grenzen eines queeren sichereren Raums und seiner marginalisierten Gemeinschaft bewusst sind und diese respektieren. \nWenn du dich als Freund_in betrachtest\, erkennst du die Selbstdarstellung aller an und respektierst sie. Du nimmst nicht an\, unterstellst nichts und projizierst keine nicht-einvernehmlichen Ideen auf andere. Sie fragen aktiv nach und verwenden die von anderen gewählten Pronomen. Sie sind sich der Tatsache bewusst\, dass das Karada House in erster Linie ein Raum für queere Menschen ist\, zu dem auch Sie eingeladen sind. Du hast ein echtes Interesse am Wohlergehen von LGBTQIA+ Menschen und bist dir der Privilegien von Heterosexuellen und Heterosexuellen bewusst. \nFreunde müssen nicht perfekt sein. Keiner von uns ist es. Wir bitten darum\, dass wir alle pro-aktiv daran arbeiten und uns bemühen\, gute Freunde und Verbündete für marginalisierte Menschen zu sein.

SUMMARY:Kink and Trauma
DESCRIPTION:  \nTrauma is a big word. But it can also simply stand for the fact that pain\, (also psychological pain)\, and loss are a part of life. Injuries can heal. To paraphrase Peter Levine\, who is groundbreaking with his work on the subject of trauma and healing\, it is not the difficult experience or the accident itself that is the problem. It is the traumatic energy bound in the body that can be so hard to deal with. This tension in the nervous system can be released. When the release is possible it has a beneficial influence on the overall situation of the body and the state of mind. \nIn this workshop and discussion\, Emma Steel will guide participants to explore breathing techniques\, body awareness meditations\, and very simple exercises that can be done lying down or sitting that regulate our nervous systems. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 30th\,  2021\, 11am-6pm \nFormat: in-house workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English / German translation \nMinimum Knowledge Level: Intermediate\, advanced \nWhat to Bring:  Bring an object that soothes you or calms you down\, like a blanket or cuddly toy or a stone\n \nSolo or Partnered:  All constellations welcome (Limited to 10 participants) \n  \nWhat we will teach/do \n• nervous system regulation exercises \n• breath techniques \n• What is trauma-sensitive communication and behavior? \n• expectations\, needs\, and intention \n• body awareness meditations \n• feedback & questions \n• close \n  \nSafety Concept \nThis event falls under our Covid-19 guidelines. \nYou need to bring proof of testing (not older than 24 hours)\, or proof of vaccination in order to be let inside. \nHand disinfectant provided in multiple places. All surfaces are disinfected and will be disinfected in between use. \nSpace is limited to give more space for everyone. \nWe frequently air the space and also use fans for more circulation. \nYou must wear a mask at all times. \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity\, meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, queer\, intersex\, asexual\, aromantic\, agender. \nFriends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity\, needs\, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community. \nWhen you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume\, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend.

SUMMARY:The Grotesque Lab
DESCRIPTION:The hypothesis of this lab is that our relationship to beauty is problematic. We don’t usually allow ourselves to be ugly or grotesque\, and if we are\, we try to explain it as a different way to be beautiful. \nThe Grotesque Lab is focused on making space to share our uglies\, and facing our own and other’s grotesqueness and vulnerability in a neutral and understanding way. We will also let go of the idea that bondage has to be beautiful. \nCW: the content of this lab could be triggering for some people. Scheduling self-care after the lab is highly recommended. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 24th\, 2021\, 2 pm-6.30pm \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: This is a multi-level workshop. You need some kind of tying skills (minimum a way of starting a tie and understanding of tension). \nWhat to Bring:  ropes (we can also give you workshop ropes)\, snacks\, comfortable clothes and socks \nSolo or Partnered: You can attend solo\, partnered\, or in a small group. \n  \nWhat will happen \n– Solo work on finding our uglies\n– Solo or group work for displaying our grotesqueness\n– Ugly rope bondage\n– Sharing our experiences in discussion\n– Documenting our uglies \n  \nSafety Concept \nYou need to bring proof of testing (not older than 24 hours)\, or proof of vaccination in order to be let inside. \nHand disinfectant provided in multiple places. All surfaces are disinfected and will be disinfected in between use. \nSpace is limited to give more space for everyone. \nWe frequently air the space and also use fans for more circulation. \nYou must wear a mask at all times. \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity\, meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, \nFriends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity\, needs\, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community. \nWhen you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgment to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume\, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others.

SUMMARY:Shame
DESCRIPTION:Everyone knows shame\, even little children.\nShame is\, much like anger\, an emotional state that most of us try to avoid at all costs.\nSome of us love it in play – and use shame and embarrassment consciously for erotic stimulation and role play. \nIt can be both very uncomfortable and very lusty – but it is always obviously palpable. Shame is sumptuous.\nIt protects our innermost core\, our dignity\, and our integrity. \nTo celebrate shame\, to bathe in it\, can be highly erotic. And\, it can be very satisfying to do this to someone who craves it and truly lose yourself in the pleasure of it all. \nIn order to create a trusting atmosphere where tops\, bottoms\, and switches can have an exchange on their own terms there is often the possibility to divide up into smaller groups. Sensitivity around all kinds of differences and positionings on all levels is expected of participants. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October  9th\, 2021\, 11am-6pm \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Womên \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/a \nWhat to Bring: yourself\, curiosity\, comfortable clothes\, snack food\, blanket \nSolo or Partnered:  both work (everybody needs to buy a ticket) \n  \nWhat we will teach/offer you \n– we will examine our own experiences with shame and embarrassment through conversations and body and breath exercises. \n– we focus on negotiation\, safety\, and aftercare. \n– we will experiment with shaming others and allowing ourselves to be shamed \n– we will indulge in play and exercises dealing with humiliation \n– we will look at the intention of humiliation \n– there will be time and space for various scenarios and role-play options that will be suggested and discussed\, and if desired\, can be tried in short play scenarios. Whoever does not wish to participate\, may use this time instead for planning fun humiliation scenarios. \n– feedback and close \n  \nSafety Concept \nYou need to bring proof of testing (not older than 24 hours)\, or proof of vaccination in order to be let inside. \nHand disinfectant provided in multiple places. All surfaces are disinfected and will be disinfected in between use. \nSpace is limited to give more space for everyone. \nWe frequently air the space and also use fans for more circulation. \nYou must wear a mask at all times. \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity\, meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, queer\, intersex\, asexual\, aromantic\, agender. \nWomên describes people who are identifying themselves as female in their gender identity. People that fit this category can be part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or not. We created this category specifically to indicate that we also invite cisgender\, heterosexual womên. \nThe word is our own creation and serves as a replacement for the word “womxn” which is now being (ab)used for transmisogynist statements. The ^ in womên represents a marker (similar to the “x” in womxn) that wishes to give emphasis to the fact that womênhood is an intersectional umbrella term that holds many different people and experiences and is not biologically predetermined. \n

SUMMARY:Rope Hangout
DESCRIPTION:  \nA rope hangout is an event where we learn from each other\, peer-to-peer\, get to know each other\, and do rope in a relaxed atmosphere\, regardless of experience level. You can hang out\, have coffee\, tea\, or soft drinks and chat with people if you don’t feel like tying. Being there is enough! \n  \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nCost: 5-15 Euros sliding scale at the door \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: all levels welcome \nWhat to Bring:  yourself\, optionally ropes  (we can also lend you ropes) \nSolo or Partnered:  both works\, this is peer-learning so partners are not necessary \n  \nSchedule: \n6.45 pm-7:05 pm: doors open (to ensure a safer space\, we ask you to be on time so everyone can see who is present at the starting circle)\n7:15 pm: starting circle\n7.30 pm – 10:00 pm: peer learning and social hangout\, space is chatty and there is no music \n  \nFormat: \nYour role as the participant is to share your knowledge and to get inspired by other people. You ask for help from other participants and help others whenever needed\, especially in risky or emergency situations. There is at least one facilitator present for the entirety of the hangout. The role of the facilitator is to offer the space and be the contact person in case of safety concerns. The facilitator is a participant\, not a teacher. The power of the facilitator is over the space and safety\, not over the knowledge shared. \n  \nAre you a newbie? \nWelcome to the hangout! You can attend at any time of your rope journey. We recommend sharing what you know with others even if you just began to tie. Teaching is the best way to learn! To get started with your rope skills\, take a look at our workshop schedule.\nWe recommend for you arrive at the beginning of the night. We have an introduction circle and go through the code of conduct and other important information. You will also see who else is there. If you can’t make it to the starting circle\, please contact us in advance.\nYou can always attend Rope Hangout alone and find new friends when you get there. If you feel socially awkward\, like many of us do\, bring someone you trust with you\, or send us a message in advance so we can prepare to give you extra support. \n  \nSafety Concept \n  \nYou need to bring proof of testing (not older than 24 hours)\, or proof of vaccination in order to be let inside. \nHand disinfectant provided in multiple places. All surfaces are disinfected and will be disinfected in between use. \nSpace is limited to give more space for everyone. \nWe frequently air the space and also use fans for more circulation. \nWe partially partition off spaces for tying for more safety/intimacy. \nYou must wear a mask at all times\, with the exception of you sitting in a dedicated tying spot with a partner/partners of your own household.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Articulation in Rope
DESCRIPTION:What is articulation? \nSomething you might be more familiar with than you think. In tying\, articulation involves where and how events and arcs begin and end. Articulation is involved in the difference taking an appropriate amount of time for every single action while tying\, but also making sure that tying doesn’t become boring\, homogenous\, and bland. “Articulation\,” although often in a different set of terms is what most teachers are thinking about when they tell their students to “slow down.” \nUnderstanding articulation is vital for anyone interested in tying. Although rarely discussed\, the ability to break down and analyze movement is one of the most fundamental skills of the practice. Articulation is an important component of any movement analysis. \nDrawing on physical theater exercises\, Andrea Rimon will help students explicitly identify points of articulation and refine their ability to break down scenes as well as to make intentional choices. This class will be a study on how to make each moment count. In addition to drawing on exercises and techniques from physical theater\, we will take a broad theoretical approach that touches on anatomy\, linguistics\, and semiotics to examine where concepts of articulation align. Taking all of these ideas together\, they will explore articulation as the nexus of content and expression\, an important and politically charged site of creativity production. \nIn other words\, they will help students identify\, grow familiar with\, and engage in play with something that is part and parcel of any good tying experience. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 8\, 2021\, 7pm-10pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop / demonstration \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to bring: ropes and a partner if you wish to tie along \nSolo or partnered? Both is fine. If you wish to tie along\, you need a partner (everybody needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes. The session will be recorded and available for 14 days after the workshop. The participants will not be recorded. \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices. If that is still too much or they are out of stock\, feel free to send us a message via info@karada-house.de

SUMMARY:Change and Loss
DESCRIPTION:Dealing with change and loss – we all do it. All of the time.\nIn pandemic times we are confronted with a huge amount of change and loss on both personal levels and globally. \nMourning as a cultural skill or a community practice is often neglected or denied. Mourning is absolutely essential for our well being and our ability to adapt and transform when change and loss happen.\nMourning is super personal\, and yet it is something that can connect us when we dare to show a glimpse or a huge wave of it. Mourning needs witness. Mourning also needs movement so it can contract and expand and does not get stuck in our bodies. \nFor some of us\, just attending online events is so new and sometimes uncomfortable that it can bring out feelings of grief and and sorrow. \nLet us be aware of that when we meet online and make time for feelings of grief\, of sadness\, of loss and maybe of feeling abandoned.\nLet us be aware that holding each other and the feeling of being held and truly seen is difficult online.\nThis is why we will start with exercises that centre and ground and resource us.\nThese exercises are very simple breathing and body awareness techniques as well as working with images in our minds. \nThere will be some teaching about mourning and grief related to death\, break ups\, changes in our bodies\, trauma\, and ongoing oppression and injustice. \nAnd finally there will be a sharing circle that invites you to talk about your own experiences with mourning and loss. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 6th\, 2021\, 7pm-9pm CET \nFormat: discussion (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English\, translation into German can be provided \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring:  nothing \nSolo or Partnered:  both (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: no. \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices. If that is still too much or they are out of stock\, feel free to send us a message via info@karada-house.de

SUMMARY:Andrea Rimon & Georg Barkas: Closing Discussion
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe conference ends with a conversation about what occurred during the conference. Everyone is invited to speak. What did you\, the participants\, take home? How can we create space for queer embodiment in the future? This is the place to share and reflect. \n  \nThis session is part of the Queer Practices / Queer Embodiment remote transdisciplinary conference that aims to bring together artists\, theorists\, and practitioners. The conference continues our work of building a community that is focused on intentionally developing bodily practices. We want our space to be a place for political growth and experimentation using all the materials that bodywork\, sex education\, and cultural inquiry can provide. \nWe aim to take advantage of the opportunity for an online conference. We seek to engage a broader audience that may be familiar with sex-positive culture but is not necessarily attuned to a wider set of political concerns\, or approaches to gender and sexuality that are more often encountered within academic\, activist\, and artistic spaces. We want to put together a conference that will be open to the public and focus on fostering challenging yet accessible conversation. \nQueer Practices / Queer Embodiment is curated and organized by a collaborative team consisting of Andrea Rimon (an intimacy choreographer and movement artist) and Georg Barkas (a tying and sexuality educator) and Karada House in Berlin (a queer art/research space). It is sponsored by Karada House and Github for Good. \nYou can browse the full program and get access to this session/the conference here \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 3rd\, 2021\, 9:30 pm – 11:30 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: transdisciplinary conference \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English\, automated closed captions provided \nRecording: yes\, will be available for 30 days to the participants of the conference \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with all the necessary data for this event. \nThis event is free. You can also choose a payment for your ticket which will be used by Karada House to finance similar events in the future. \nphoto: Caio Oviedo

SUMMARY:Jolene Jean Zubrow: Genealogy of Body Piercing // Luna Duran: The Work of Decolonization
DESCRIPTION:  \nGenealogy of Body Piercing  \nJolene Jean Zubrow’s workshop will consist of a genealogy (in the spirit of Foucault) of contemporary body piercing practices in the United States of American and Western Europe from the 1960s through the present day. This project is undertaken as a case study\, in what is ultimately a remediation of philosophical conversations regarding subcultural practices and their fecundity as sources of subversion against unjust social arrangements and systems. Jo will argue that looking towards piercing is not best done for purposes of subversion or vindication\, but to reveal the problematizations upon which our practices always rely. Such an approach can be a more fertile ground for thinking about such practices in relation to social justice and ethical life.\n \n  \nThe Work of Decolonization \nThrough the critical lens of personal experience\, Luna Duran will introduce a general audience to the modern industry of body piercing. Brought into the United States through the private tattoo & piercing parties frequented by the gay leather community in California\, the practice of Body Piercing has grown into an industry that contends with\, often\, conflicting\nnarratives. Having spent over two decades of her life developing from an enthusiast to a professional in Body Art\, Luna has navigated a predominantly cis\, white\, male industry in the body of a queer native South American woman of color; providing her with a unique perspective which she documents on her skin through scarification and the consequences of enduring extreme ritual performances. She will share her mission of decodifying and deconditioning the assimilated scripts of white supremacy\, misogyny\, and heteronormativity inbuilt in our greater culture\, acquired by the Body Art industry. This is a call to arms for those who seek to experience the extreme act of self-ownership through body rituals as a path to liberation. \n  \nThis session is part of the Queer Practices / Queer Embodiment remote transdisciplinary conference that aims to bring together artists\, theorists\, and practitioners. The conference continues our work of building a community that is focused on intentionally developing bodily practices. We want our space to be a place for political growth and experimentation using all the materials that bodywork\, sex education\, and cultural inquiry can provide. \nWe aim to take advantage of the opportunity for an online conference. We seek to engage a broader audience that may be familiar with sex-positive culture but is not necessarily attuned to a wider set of political concerns\, or approaches to gender and sexuality that are more often encountered within academic\, activist\, and artistic spaces.
