Grounded in the life-affirming potential of the erotic, Black Fly Zine present a workshop reframing the erotic as a creative, political, and transformational tool for deep, personal knowledge and making intentional choices about our sexual health.
Centring the ways in which black and brown people relate to sex and desire, Black Fly Zine will present an alternative reading of the erotic and its connection to ideas of emancipation, autonomy, ancestral knowledge, and freedom.
Through discussions and playful exercises, we will expand upon theories of the erotic to map out where desire resides within our bodies and the role our erotic selves can play in our own sexual health, wellbeing, and ways that we relate to notions of fear, pleasure, sensuality, and self affirmation.
Please note: this workshop is a low-stakes, playful space which centres and is open to people who identify as being of the global majority.
This event accompanies our current exhibition Hamad Butt: Apprehensions.
Supported by the Centre for Public Engagement at Queen Mary University of London.
Black Fly Zine is a publication and collective centring the thoughts and experiences of the global majority in their sexual health. We are a radical collective who facilitate decolonising workshops in real life and digitally to create safe spaces for marginalised people to discuss, question and share their experiences. Alongside the publication, we archive, produce creative solutions to community experiences.
