ASSFest M25 Rim | Degenerate Art (Panel)

*** An ASSFEST M25 Rim event - see here for ALL the juicy details! ***

What is sex? What is art?
Two impossible questions, with an overlapping space of further ambiguity…

Our panellists are all artists working at the interface of sexuality and the arts. Join us for a lively chat about the gaze, identity, obscenity, the body, queerness, disability, politics and SO MUCH MORE... Your questions are SO welcome!

🍑 ABOUT PSYALUX 🍑

Psyalux is a mixed-media visual artist whose work in recent years has centered on representing and connecting the kink community by exhibiting online and at in-person events. By exploring themes of power, vulnerability, sensuality, and liberation, they seek to create space for dialogue, visibility, and recognition for alternative expressions of identity and intimacy. 

🍑 ABOUT EVE X 🍑

Eve X is the founder of Sacred Primal Arts, The Australian School of Sexuality and Tantric Kink Australia (forthcoming). She first entered the sexuality industry almost twenty five years ago; since then she has worked in various aspects of the field.

Eve is best known for her provocative and profound erotic performance art with Sai Jaiden Lillith; they have been appearing regularly on stages in Melbourne and Sydney since 2019 as Infernal Desire Machine. Eve has held over 60 sexuality education spaces since 2019. She is a regular educational presenter with OzKinkFest and Sexpo / LoveX, and co-owner of Alter Space.

Eve’s work is deeply embodied; informed by queerness, neurodivergence and chronic illness. It is also deeply transpersonal; weaving politics, ecology and spirituality into the story of the body.

Sai Jaiden Lillith is a Melbourne based gender fluid prodom/me, escort, activist, educator, creator of visual erotica, artist and Shibari addict.
