SUMMARY:João Florêncio: Antiretroviral Time
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe introduction of combination antiretroviral therapies in 1996 brought about a radical change in the temporality of HIV infection\, moving us away from the event-time of the AIDS crisis to the expanded/expansive temporality of chronic ‘undetectability’. That\, and the later extension of antiretrovirals as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis\, has dramatically shifted the lived temporalities of both sex and subjectivity among gay men who were able to access the new medical protocols for testing\, managing\, and preventing HIV. In this lecture\, I draw from fieldwork carried out in Berlin\, Los Angeles\, and San Francisco\, and analysis of gay pornography\, to map the new temporalities of sex and subjectivity that have been catalysed by the introduction of antiretroviral drugs\, speculating on their limits and queer political potential\, situated as they are at the intersection of neoliberal regimes of biomedical self-administration and sex understood as both an aesthetics and poetics of existence. If modernity developed through an incessant rationalisation of time\, including of lived\, embodied time\, I argue that antiretroviral time has triggered the emergence of sexual behaviours and subjectivities that open up new avenues for thinking 21st-century triangulations of sex\, subjectivity\, and resistance being experimented with in bedrooms\, sex clubs\, and bathhouses across the developed world.\n \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.

SUMMARY:Jules Joanne Gleeson: Sadomasochism & Sex Reassignation
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis talk will explore the second half of the previously published essay ‘How Do Gender Transitions Happen?’\, exploring in some more depth the role played by S&M practices in the ‘community face’ of transition. \nClearly\, sadomasochism has been one means used by trans people (among other queers) to ‘recontextualise’ and refashion otherwise seemingly immutable body parts. What can be taken from this longstanding approach to embodiment? Is this simply one face of S&M’s utility in exploring bodily limits? And how can we make sense of these scenes’ oscillation between wholehearted affirmation and subversive undermining of sex position? \nI’ll draw from both existing academic work and more informal personal reflections from the 1980s and 90s. This approach aims to draw out both the distance and familiarity to current contexts and controversies. \nThis talk will outline both the particular overlap between S&M and transition\, and tease towards obvious commonalities between deviant experiences (already latent in these accounts being largely extracted from collections that are predominantly cis gays and lesbians.) S&M will be found as prone to forming as disrupting otherwise sturdy-seeming foundations. \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.

SUMMARY:Deviations Book Club: Queer Phenomenology
DESCRIPTION:  \nDeviations Book Club returns from its summer hiatus with a discussion of Sara Ahmed’s Queer Phenomenology\, a lyrical academic study of the phenomenological concept of “orientation.” The panel will discuss the book’s framing of queerness\, its approach to phenomenology\, and the thought that goes into planning a “queer” conference that faces a diverse and varied audience. As always\, attendees are welcome to participate whether or not they have read the material.\n \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:  September 30th\, 2021\, 7pm – 9.00pm 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.

SUMMARY:Semenawa/Kink Play/Predicament/Supporture Fun\, Kanna Style! Weekend Intensive
DESCRIPTION:  \nFor Nawashi Kanna aesthetics and patterns are what comes after deeply connecting to your partner and giving them sweet consensual torment\, delicious suffering and sweet relief. In Kanna’s school of rope / Kanna-ryu every rope\, every placement\, every tension and action should have an intention that the person tying is controlling. \nIn this weekend intensive workshop\, you will learn rope for playing and interacting with your partner in the modes of seme (“torture” rope)\, predicamtent\, rope for kink play and “supporture” (seme rope with extra care to make it supportive for all bodies and abilities). Kanna and Kagura will show you how to tie and control your sessions in multi-faceted ways depending on your intention. They will also teach you techniques\, tricks\, and ways of thinking about tormenting your partner by managing the placement\, lines\, tension \, timing\, direction\, distribution of the weight\, gravity\, body structure and limitations. \nThis workshop supports and encourages your understanding of the structure of the body and your partner’s abilities\, states and preferences\, reading the tension and your partner’s face and body language\, predicting what will happen with your ropes and your partner’s physical feelings in them\, as well as putting your own preferences into efficient and meaningful ties. \n  \n  \nIn Kanna & Kagura’s own words: \nWhether it’s the first time to meet you\, or it’s been a while\, or you’ve met us online but never in person\, no matter what level you are\, we really couldn’t wait to enjoy the ropes in the same space with you all! We’ve always been hoping to be committed to providing safe\, respectful\, equitable\, and enjoyable learning environments for queer or gender diverse students while supporting their development and interaction with their partner. So we are super excited to share these with you! \nIf you’ve taken a workshop in the past or an online class\, you’ve learned the basics and you are probably familiar with Kanna-ryu! Some of the content may overlap\, but this series would be instructive for upgrading your skills or polishing off your knowledge!! In-person workshop classes\, we’re offering skills development training workshops [*not professional teacher training workshop]\, with direct instruction such as checking\, correcting\, and suggesting to each person. \nOur education plan puts students focusing on lifelong learning (the long-term benefits for sustainable rope activities) first\, along with exploring a variety of approaches and methods or diverse possibilities\, while prioritizing developing step-by-step skills\, creativity\, knowledge\, and experience\, rather than pushing new patterns practice as many as possible. \nThe content and instruction of the class will be tailored on a case-by-case basis\, based on the level of the class\, the student’s progress and speed\, reflecting the student’s interests and demands\, and/or the partner’s fatigue\, as well as what is needed and what is good to know. In multi-level classes\, the class may have a division in the middle sometimes flexibly depending on the student’s choice: skill practice\, reteach or mini-lesson\, and play with partners. \nPlease don’t compare yourself to other students. There are no rankings\, no comparisons\, or competition between students or schools in Shibari and workshops. Shibari is available for every body of all ages\, genders\, and abilities. Differences that vary from person to person could be valued as individual characteristics\, and grow creativity with special needs. Our doing rope activities Shibari or Kinbaku is interpersonal communication even in group learning. Focus on yourself\, your partner\, your interests\, and your goals! \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  September 25th & 26th\, 2021\, 10 am – 6 pm (lunch break included) \nFormat: hands-on workshop\n \nAudience: LGBTQIA+ & WOMÊN \nLanguage: Japanese\, English live translations by Kako \nMinimum Knowledge Level: you must be familiar with and able to solidly tie single & double column ties\, box tie\, and have knowledge of all common frictions \nWhat to Bring:  a full set of ropes (8-10 ropes)\, safety equipment\, a partner who consents to this kind of play\, solid negotiation skills\, a sadistic-mind to enjoy watching the partner’s suffering reaction or a masochistic mind that enjoys to suffer and be watched \nSolo or Partnered:  the ticket price is per PAIR \nPrice: 450€/pair \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. \nIf you are not part of the LGBTQIA+ you are not eligible to purchase a ticket. \nIf you consider yourself a Friend\, you may put yourself on the waiting list for any leftover spaces. If you wish to do so\, please email us at info@karada-house.de with your rope name\, profile (FL\, insta etc.) if you have one and intention as to why you would like to participate. \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:Kinky Kittens Salon
DESCRIPTION:  \nKinky Kittens Salon is a chill\, low-key open space for you to hang out and meet other like-minded people\, to learn and try out new and exciting things\, to talk to us in a chill atmosphere\, and get advice\, and/or to use our stable hall to actually play. \nConsider this a munch meets jam session meets learning environment and play space at the same time. \nIt does not matter if you are super new and not yet experienced or if you have been enjoying kink for a long time.  Come alone or with friends or partner(s). Come to hang out and talk\, or to learn from other practitioners\, or simply come to play. You can also use this space to try out new things or new play partners in a safe(r) and intentional environment and with experienced space holders. \nKinky Kittens Salon aims to be a low-threshold\, shame-free environment for every kind of kitten out there. If you feel super shy\, feel free to email us. \nWe can provide a small number of play items and safety items but if you wish to play\, please bring your own stash. \nThere is no dress code. Come as you like (no high heels\, though as it would mess up the floor\, sorry!) \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  September 12th\, 2021\, 5 – 9pm \nFormat: open space \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Womên \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/a \nWhat to Bring:  all the things you need for yourself \nSolo or Partnered:  solo or partnered (everybody needs to buy a ticket) \n  \nHow it works \nThe door opens at 5:00 pm and stays open until 7:00 pm (sharp). \nWe will greet you at the door and ask for some information\, your proof of testing (not older than 24 hours)\, or proof of vaccination. \nAt 5:30 pm we will give an introduction to people who are new to the space and would like to be guided a bit. \nYou can choose if you wish to hang out and chat with people\, play or if you wish to interact with us for questions\, guidance\, etc. \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.

SUMMARY:Addie & Barkas: Floor Work Series
DESCRIPTION:  \nFloor work in rope bondage has become somewhat synonymous with terms like connection\, communication\, and eroticism. While these are certainly valid and enjoyable pursuits\, they are not the only options\, and questioning their meaning and application offers new ways of interacting with floor work as a concept. \nIn this two-part workshop\, Barkas and Addie deconstruct common terms and techniques associated with tying on the ground. This deconstruction does not mean the demolition of certain approaches to floor work\, but rather an expansion and investigation of possibilities. Floor work does not\, for example\, require participants to sit on the floor\, nor does it require proximity. \n  \nPart I: September 11th\, 2021\, 7-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nIn the first part\, we will introduce a few concepts as well as techniques and patterns useful for tying on the ground. The concept and implementation of spatial awareness will play a crucial role. \n  \nPart II: September 18th\, 2021 7-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nPart two then expands on the concept of spatial awareness. With the help of some sequences\, we will explore timing\, subtlety\, balance\, and creativity. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  September 11th & 18th\, 2021\, 7pm-10pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: single and double column ties\, experience with floor work helpful but not necessary. \nWhat to Bring:  if you want to tie along you need ropes\, safety gear\, space\, a partner \nSolo or Partnered:  both (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes. The recording will be made available after the live class for 30 days \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 \nPhoto: The Silence

SUMMARY:Deconstructing Power in Kink Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Power has different meanings depending on the context and perspective you are coming from. In kink and D/s dynamics power is often associated with the dominant side and the act of consensual taking of power over the submissive partner. \nThis is where things get messy for many people. How do we dare to take when taking and power are often convoluted and associated with unconsenusal power-grabbing and or overwhelm? How do we distinguish it from malign action and egocentrism? How do we deconstruct what is nourishing/empowering\, from what is not? Taking power has a poor track record and there is a great deal of discomfort in the act of taking. \nIn this workshop\, we are exploring this topic through an intentional kink framework that offers participants an opportunity to explore and take a journey into how you can bring parts of the deconstruction and reconstruction of power into your every day and kink life. \nIn this workshop\, Caritia aims to support you in deconstructing the narratives and stories you hold about power and to critically enquiry what intentional power play\, dominance and power exchange\, are for you with respect to playing and intimacy. \nThis workshop is for everyone who is struggling to step into a dominant role\, take power and enjoy the process. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  September 11th\, 2021\, 11.30 am – 7 pm \nFormat: workshop & discussion \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/a \nWhat to Bring:  questions\, curiosity\, comfortable clothing\, towel\, toys \nSolo or Partnered:  solo or partnered (everybody needs to buy a ticket) \n  \nWhat we will teach/offer you \n– meditation \n– what is power and how is it built? \n– intentional power spaces? \n– whose the boss? \n– care\, health and why they are important \n– what are your roles \n– what forms of power play are you looking to explore? Spectrums of power \n– Feedback and close \n* Note you may wish to join Kinky Kittens Salon (LGBTQIA+ Womên) \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. \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:Fundamentals of Kanna Style Weekend Intensive
DESCRIPTION:  \nFor Nawashi Kanna aesthetics and patterns are what comes after deeply connecting to your partner and giving them sweet consensual torment\, delicious suffering\, and sweet relief. In Kanna’s school of rope / Kanna-ryu every rope\, every placement\, every tension\, and action should have an intention that the person tying is controlling. \nIn this weekend intensive workshop\, you will learn the fundamental principles\, the patterns\, and the reasoning and intention behind Kanna’s style of tying. Kanna and Kagura will also suggest and show ways to play with the patterns and demonstrate their application within a session\, as well as show variations\, and explain the underlying theory and historical culture behind them. \n  \nIn Kanna & Kagura’s own words: \nWhether it’s the first time to meet you\, or it’s been a while\, or you’ve met us online but never in person\, no matter what level you are\, we really couldn’t wait to enjoy the ropes in the same space with you all! We’ve always been hoping to be committed to providing safe\, respectful\, equitable\, and enjoyable learning environments for queer or gender diverse students while supporting their development and interaction with their partner. So we are super excited to share these with you! \nIf you’ve taken a workshop in the past or an online class\, you’ve learned the basics and you are probably familiar with Kanna-ryu! Some of the content may overlap\, but this series would be instructive for upgrading your skills or polishing off your knowledge!! In-person workshop classes\, we’re offering skills development training workshops [*not professional teacher training workshop]\, with direct instruction such as checking\, correcting\, and suggesting to each person. \nOur education plan puts students focusing on lifelong learning (the long-term benefits for sustainable rope activities) first\, along with exploring a variety of approaches and methods or diverse possibilities\, while prioritizing developing step-by-step skills\, creativity\, knowledge\, and experience\, rather than pushing new patterns practice as many as possible. \nThe content and instruction of the class will be tailored on a case-by-case basis\, based on the level of the class\, the student’s progress and speed\, reflecting the student’s interests and demands\, and/or the partner’s fatigue\, as well as what is needed and what is good to know. In multi-level classes\, the class may have a division in the middle sometimes flexibly depending on the student’s choice: skill practice\, reteach or mini-lesson\, and play with partners. \nPlease don’t compare yourself to other students. There are no rankings\, no comparisons\, or competition between students or schools in Shibari and workshops. Shibari is available for every body of all ages\, genders\, and abilities. Differences that vary from person to person could be valued as individual characteristics\, and grow creativity with special needs. Our doing rope activities Shibari or Kinbaku is interpersonal communication even in group learning.
