4: Eros Studies: Catholocism & Kink 🕳️
Despite the deeply atrocious history of the Catholic church, its elements relentlessly appear in places of transgression. From BDSM dungeons, to queer cinema, to sex work, this study will explore how perverting the ultimate oppressor has has created a tapestry of the erotic as complex and prismatic as a Cathedral’s stained-glass window.

This session will be led by Gabriella Garcia and is hosted by Cy X. July 21, 2023 from 7-9pm in a private space in Brooklyn, NY → Read More

“Despite this feeling of agency that tech brings, we often call our hardware and software ‘magical’ because it’s difficult for us to fully understand their complexities, algorithms, and materialities — how they work feels occluded, which shares its root word with ‘occult.’” → Read More
