This full-day, participatory workshop explores the ethics, pleasures, and politics of desire. Through interactive exercises and reflective discussions, participants will examine how desire is shaped not only by personal taste, but by culture, history, and power.
Together We Will:
- Challenge what we’ve been taught about which bodies are considered attractive, sexual, or worthy of love.
- Question whether intimacy can ever be free from power, coercion, or inequality.
- Explore how capitalism commodifies desire, turning sex, bodies, and even love into transactions.
- Play with our erotic imagination, expanding it beyond ableist, patriarchal, and colonial scripts of beauty.
- Listen to lived experiences of how desire, sex, and relationships are navigated across disability, race, gender, and class.
This gathering creates a space to challenge myths, confront taboos, and imagine new possibilities for intimacy and pleasure that move beyond normative scripts.
We welcome people living with disability, chronic illness, neurodivergence, and other diverse embodied experiences--as well as those who care about the wellbeing of disabled people.
This is not the place for voyeurism or idle curiosity; it is a sacred, protected space open only to those who honour, support and value disability rights and justice.
