在EAST2046, 我们打开脑洞,想象2046的亲密关系。

在今天的主流文化中,亲密关系往往以异性恋、一夫一妻制的浪漫伴侣关系为模板,沿着“恋爱—结婚—育儿”的轨迹被理所当然地规划和期待。它也内含了许多性别脚本,对“亲密”该如何展开做出了很多看似自然的设定。即使在 LGBTQ+ 社群中,异性恋规范(heteronormativity)依然悄然存在。我们从小就被教导,亲密关系应该是某种样子:最好是一对一,彼此忠诚,步入婚姻,组建家庭。这样的亲密剧本对很多人来说可能温暖而稳定,但也让许多人感到困惑、压抑,甚至无法安放真实的自己。

也许,并不是我们不够好,而是这种“标准答案”本身并不适合所有人。

《2046:想象新亲密关系》 是一场在公园草地上进行的公开讨论活动,我们希望邀请你一起重新思考“亲密”的可能。在这场轻松但深刻的对谈中,我们将一起讨论:

  • 亲密一定要是爱情吗?
  • 忠诚一定要和独占划等号吗?
  • 友情、合作、陪伴,这些关系是否也值得被认真对待?
  • 我们可以怎样不被剧本束缚,重新定义自己的亲密方式?

我们会一起了解一些真实存在、但尚未进入主流视野的亲密关系形式,比如:

  • 伦理 / 协商式非一夫一妻制(Ethical / Consensual Non-Monogamy):在透明沟通与自愿协商下展开的多重亲密关系实践,包括开放式关系(open relationship)、多重伴侣制(polyamory)等;关系安那其主义(Relationship Anarchy):一种亲密关系哲学,反对将浪漫关系置于其他关系之上,强调关系去等级化、拒绝默认剧本与自主协商;
  • 酷儿柏拉图关系(Queerplatonic Relationship):一种深度亲密却不以浪漫或性为中心的关系形态,可能包含共居、承诺与身体亲密,但不符合主流分类;
  • 单身式多重亲密(Solo Polyamory):以“我”为亲密关系的核心个体,在保持独立生活的基础上与多个对象建立深度关系;
  • 伦理 / 协商式非一夫一妻制(Ethical / Consensual Non-Monogamy):在透明沟通与自愿协商下展开的多重亲密关系实践,包括开放式关系(open relationship)、多重伴侣制(polyamory)等;
  • 异地共处关系(Living Apart Together):选择不共居却仍维持亲密与承诺的伴侣模式;
  • 非浪漫共同育儿(Platonic Co-Parenting):不以浪漫关系为前提,由两人或多人共同育儿的合作模式。

本次活动以轻松开放的对谈形式进行,由主持人引导对话并提供问题提示。欢迎你带着真实的经验、好奇的眼光或脑洞大开的想象加入,不需要“非传统”才能参与。我们一起聊聊关系,聊聊自由,聊聊更诚实、更柔软、更有创造力的亲密可能。

活动在维多利亚公园的具体地点将稍后通知。

During the EAST2046 Festival, we will also imagine what intimacy is like in 2046.

In today’s prevailing culture, intimacy is often shaped around the ideal of a heterosexual, monogamous romantic relationship—one that follows a familiar trajectory: falling in love, getting married, having children. This script is so deeply embedded in our social lives that it feels “natural,” reinforced by strong gender expectations. Even within LGBTQ+ communities, heteronormative ideals subtly persist.

From a young age, many of us are taught that intimacy should look a certain way: one-on-one, faithful, long-term, and ideally leading to marriage and family life. For some, this offers comfort and stability. But for others, it can feel stifling, confusing, or simply misaligned with who they are.

Maybe the problem isn’t us—but the so-called “right” way to do intimacy.

2046: Imagining New Forms of Intimacy is an open discussion taking place on the grass in Victoria Park. We invite you to join us in rethinking what intimacy could mean—for you, and for our collective future. Through a series of thoughtful, casual, and creative prompts, we’ll explore questions like:

  • Does intimacy have to mean romance?
  • Does loyalty always require exclusivity?
  • Can friendship, care, or cohabitation be just as meaningful as romantic love?
  • What happens when we free ourselves from the script and define intimacy on our own terms?

We’ll introduce and explore a number of real but under-recognised relationship models and practices, such as:

  • Ethical / Consensual Non-Monogamy: Multiple committed relationships built on transparency, communication, and consent—such as open relationships or polyamory.
  • Relationship Anarchy: A philosophy that challenges the hierarchy of romantic relationships over others, advocating for non-scripted, self-defined connections.
  • Queerplatonic Relationships: Deeply intimate partnerships that may involve cohabitation, commitment, or physical closeness, but are not necessarily romantic or sexual.
  • Solo Polyamory: A non-hierarchical approach to multiple intimate relationships that centres the individual’s autonomy and independence.
  • Living Apart Together: Intimate partnerships that maintain emotional closeness while choosing not to cohabit.
  • Platonic Co-Parenting: Co-raising children without being romantically involved, based on shared care and collaboration.

Facilitated by a host, the event will be conducted in a relaxed and inclusive format. You don’t need to be “non-traditional” to join—just come with your stories, your curiosity, or your imagination. Together, we’ll talk about intimacy, freedom, and more honest, creative ways of relating in 2046 and beyond.

We will let you know the exact location of the evvent at the Victoria Park closer to the event day.
