The Promise of Identity

12. December 2021, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

The landscape of different sexual identities is vast and more and more white spots on the maps are discovered, created, and surveyed.

Although it became easier to travel between different areas on that globe, one operation remains unthinkable: Not to identify with a certain sexuality seems as rare and problematic as being nationless.

In a sense, entering an area of a specific sexual identity demands from us the enunciation of a promise. To identify, after all, can be seen as an orientation in a certain direction or to submit to certain rules of that identity.

Is there a way to identify without a promise? How would that look like and ‘where’ would that be?

This is not necessarily a workshop but an exploration. After establishing a toolkit of the identity surveyor, we will go together on a journey to find out if there can be a land that does not require a promise of entrance. In other words, we will draw a map of sexual identities.
