Kinbaku scenes are built first and foremost around people. But also around the rope structure as well as the position and last but not least, the purpose of the scene.
If we look at tying from the perspective of how they are constructed and if we acknowledge that everyone has their own view on tying, their own set of aesthetics, purposes, and longings, we can look at it in a similar way as we would with the different houses and districts of a city.
In this workshop series, we will explore how we can each build our own house by using different materials, tools, and techniques for creating rope scenes that are special and unique.
In this part we will dive into the metaphor of “architectures” in Kinbaku and how to use it. We will also get to know tools, materials and techniques that come with thinking and working shibari/kinbaku within the frame of this metaphor.
Let’s walk through a house (metaphorically!); what can it tell us about our rope scenes? Let’s walk through a city (metaphorically!); what can it tell us about different schools and moods of Shibari/Kinbaku?
In this session, we will explore your own architectural style of Shibari/Kinbaku.
LGBTQIA+ 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.
Friends describe 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 space and its marginalized community.
When 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. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender-straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
