What does it mean to queer kink? What does it mean to participate in kink and community as a queer person? What does it mean to desire things that society has labelled as taboo, when you yourself are often considered taboo to begin with? How do we start to ask for what we want, when consent and cancel cultures threaten to tear apart our communities?

Queering Kink is a discussion space/peer support space, led by Himboy. This is a space where you can learn from others, voice fears and explore the depth of lived queer kink experience.

This is a closed group, no late entry workshop for those that identify with queerness (LGBTQIA+) only.

THIS IS AN 18+ EVENT

LOGISTICS

WHEN? 5pm - 8pm, Sunday 1st December - Ticket sales close on Sunday 1st December at 3pm.

ACCESSIBILITY: There is a steep flight of stairs with 2 turns up into the workshop space of the venue, please reach out to us if this may be of concern to you so that we can provide more information! Inside the venue there are 3 steps leading down to the hallway to the kichen area, and another 3 steps leading down into the kitchen space which leads to the bathroom.

TICKETING STRUCTURE

We have added a pay-what-you-can/want ticket - to help support the community and those who may not be able to afford the full price ticket of $60, this is an option where you can pay what you can from $30. There is no upper limit on this ticket, so if you feel like subsidising those who purchase lower priced tickets, or giving a little extra to the facilitator to support us, this is your option!

We believe in both accessibility for the community, as well as making sure our facilitators are paid appropriately for their erotic / intellectual labours, so this is our solution to hold space for both with a minimum of fuss!

Enjoy this social experiment, and we'd love your feedback.
