Free Entry / BAR

• SEX WORK INFOKIOSK
  A chill-out space with fanzines, brochures and other resources on sex work, where you can meet up, alone or with others, to read, discuss and listen.
• INSTALLATION VR / A RAFT TO ROMANCY / Lubna Behey x Manoah Camporini
  An immersive sculptural device in the form of a seat connected to a VR headset, this original creation is a sensitive and physical breach in the psyche of lubna, a French white SW from genZ. Several 3D "scenes" allow us to grasp fragments of her bodily and psychic relationship to the practice of sex work, in a process of re-enactment that enables her to bear witness to a previously unpronounceable experience.
• INSTALLATION DIGITAL GAME/ ONLYBANS / Lena Chen & Maggie Oates
  Made in collaboration with a team of sex workers, OnlyBans is a game critically examining digital surveillance, censorship, and discrimination faced by sex workers. It offers a speculative vision of how marginalized communities can protest unjust policies to create a free Internet.

19:00_SEX WORK PROJECTS / SEX WORK STYLES / Sâal Couture // Espace P - French & English - Free entry / BAR

Sex workers are stylish and beautiful. They create meaningful shapes, sewed with stories of dignities and made from proudness. Sâal Couture and Espace P will present their clothing projects, from their process to the final object.

18:45 / WHORE STUDIES / K_SLUT / Sabrina Calvo - 40' - French - Free entry / POOL ROOM 
As a sex worker in Second Life for 17 years, I went from street prostitution to brothel, then to misery - and finally into the light. Through a technological, sensory and metaphysical lens, here before you, brothers and sisters, is the story of a post-contemporary whore: to question the somatic consequences of virtual sex, towards a possible reconciliation. Sabrina Calvo is a writer and visual artist.

19:30 / WHORE STUDIES / POLITICS IS NOT A DIRTY WORLD! / DogBoiBailey - 40' - English - Free entry / POOL ROOM
In his presentation, Paris-based HIV activist, queer porn actor, fetish community representative and journalist, DogBoiBailey confronts the taboo link between fetish and anti-fascism, identity manipulation and how intercommunal solidarity can be harnessed to fight political pacification. It's time that politics was firmly placed back on our agendas.

  Tribade is a young three-piece rap band from Barcelona leaded by the MCs Bittah and Masiva Lulla. Lyrically, Tribade brings the XXIst century universe of two young women fighting against precariousness on a male privileged society and amplifies with its poetry usually silenced realities such as LGBT, sex work, local and neighbourhood struggles, antifa activism... Musically, Barcelona is not only 90s mestizo, rumba and fiesta beats: Tribade blends a fresh and original mix of rap with flamenco, soul, afrotrap and reggaeton.

  Choupetik is a Venezuelan DJ based in Paris, cofounder of Misantropical. Her eclectic “melancholatino” sets take a decolonial and feminist stance to the dance floor and revises Latincore soundscapes with a curation that incorporates old school reggaeton and merengue electronico entwined with neoperreo and Latin tek.
