The Fat Rope Hang: Zine Publishing Party

This is a space dedicated to everyone self-identifying as fat who’s into shibari or other types of rope bondage. We will luxuriate, rant, do rope, and just generally engage in revolutionary action.

Together, we’ll center fat joy, fat bodies, and fat experience in rope — without apology and without shrinking ourselves. This gathering prioritizes comfort, accessibility, and unmasking, with an emphasis on sharing knowledge, building confidence, and unlearning the ways mainstream rope spaces often exclude or overlook us.

The launch of The Fat Rope Hang will be a special event: we are publishing Ceci’s zine on tying fat people!

The Fat Rope Hang is not a class or performance space. It’s a facilitated hang where you’re welcome to:

• Tie or be tied at your own pace
• Share frustrations, wins, and questions about navigating rope as a fat person
• Experiment, rest, watch, talk, or simply exist in community
• Celebrate adaptations, creativity, and what works for your body

All skill levels are welcome. You do not need to arrive with a partner, a plan, or a specific goal. Consent, communication, and care (for yourself and others) are core values of this space. You can bring a non-fat rope partner with you.

The Fat Rope Hang is about visibility, connection, and pleasure in taking up space. Come as you are. Stay as long as you like. Let your body be part of the revolution.
