On Saturday, February 1st, join us at Studio XX for an afternoon of community archiving. This will be an opportunity to discover artists, researchers and activists that have enlivened the center over our history, as well as to brainstorm new names inspired by these archives ;) We will continue the discussion at our Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, February 4th. We hope to see many of you there!

PROGRAMMING

Our Slow Tech programming continues! From September 2019 to July 2022, Studio XX slows down and supports practices exploring our relationship to technologies, to each other, to time, and to the environment.

WORKSHOP / PARTY
Queer Sexting Party | Kinga Michalska

For Valentine’s Day, artist Kinga Michalska invites self-identified queers and allies to join a Queer Sexting Party!

"Kinga’s workshop is a space to swap strategies that broaden our sexting vocabulary as we reconsider what sensoria is legible as erotic. Does an image of waves breaking get you wet? [...] When we sext, the device itself becomes implicated in our practices of erotic pleasure. Bodies merge with machine, becoming amalgams of technology and flesh. The phone becomes a toy which mediates our erotic communication: both vibrant and vibrating. Screens become fetish objects, something our fingers tap, stroke, grope, and caress."
