performativno predavanje
Emily Schwarzwald: Ko se igramo: queerovski BDSM* 
(English version below)

Emily Schwarzwald bo predstavila izbor lepih, močnih in občasno zabavnih (javnih) izrazov queerovske, lezbične, ženske in trans SM kulture iz zadnjih tridesetih let. Ker jo zanimajo tudi sodobni življenjski slogi, stili oblačenja in spolne prakse v BDSM skupnostih, bo predstavila izsledke svoje raziskave, v kateri je fotografirala in intervjuvala današnje članice in člane skupnosti. Spraševala jih je, kako spol in spolnost vplivata na njihov BDSM stil, katere BDSM sloge imajo najraje in ali njihova razredna pripadnost vpliva na njihove BDSM persone, stile in sceno.

a lecture performance by
Emily Schwarzwald: When We Play: Queer BDSM*

After showing beautiful, strong and occasionally funny examples of (public) expressions of QueerLesbianWomenTrans SM culture of the last thirty years, Emily Schwarzwald is going to present her interviews with current community members, accompanied with selected images of their personal styles. The interviewees were asked how is gender or sexuality reflected in their 'outer' BDSM style, what are their favourite BDSM styles and whether or not their social realities (class affiliation) affect their BDSM personas, styles and scene.
