For Valentine’s Day, artist Kinga Michalska invites self-identified queers and allies to join a Queer Sexting Party! Queer love and desire, consent, inclusive vocabulary, and desirability policies will inform an encrypted online group discussion in which participants will anonymously send texts, photos, videos, audio recordings, GIFs and emojis. Everyone will be invited to take part in this conversation, or not—voyeurism is also a form of participation ;)

"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? What about a soft pink or harsh yellow, lacy mycelium or velvety moss? Isn’t it scintillating to discover – in that exhibitionist, blinking ellipse – the girth of your lover’s thinking process as they compose a text? 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."

Hannah Kaya

Participants will also be able to sign up for a queer blind sexting date! The evening will be spiced up by Carmen Colas’ (LSD – Lesbian Speed Dating) dirty tunes.
