Rdeče zore in Kulturni center Q vabita na
performativno predavanje
EMILY SCHWARZWALD – Ko se igramo: queerovski BDSM *
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.

* Umetnica kratico »BDSM« uporablja kot zbirni pojem za vrsto sporazumnih razmerij, ki vključujejo vezanje, discipliniranje, dominanco, podreditev, mazohizem in nekatere fetišizme. Izraz »queerovska, lezbična, ženska in trans BDSM kultura« ali krajše »queerovski BDSM« zajame posebnosti lezbičnih in queerovskih BDSM slogov v lezbično-feminističnih kontekstih poznih sedemdesetih, osemdesetih in devetdesetih let 20. stoletja.
EMILY SCHWARZWALD se posveča različnim seksualnim politikam in kulturam, BDSM praksam, modi ter performansu kot vsakodnevni praksi in umetniški zvrsti.

S svojimi eseji in predavanji o poliamoriji (odprtih razmerjih), »pokvirjanju« BDSM slogov in pravni dimenziji BDSM praks je sodelovala na številnih dogodkih, med njimi na konferenci Queering and Performing Sadomasochism v Berlinu in na drugem mednarodnem »netpornfestivalu« C’lick me v Amsterdamu.

Red Dawns and Cultural centre Q presents
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.

* The acronym “BDSM” is used as an umbrella term for consensual Bondage and/or Discipline and/or Dominance and/or Submission and/or Masochism, including certain fetishisms. The term “QueerLesbianWomanTrans BDSM subculture” (or in short “queer BDSM”) allows us to capture the specificity of lesbian-centered and queer BDSM in feminist-lesbian contexts of the late 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s.
