Workshop: Awareness for Sex-Positive Parties with LECKEN

This workshop will focus on the structural layers of care and support that create and sustain sex-positive parties. We will examine mediation, de-escalation, and addressing confrontations in substance- and sex-positive environments, using self-awareness within the team as the foundation upon which to build our strategies. After a brief introduction to the dynamics of darkrooms, cruising, and sex-positive environments within event spaces, we will explore non-consumerist approaches to awareness-raising, and how and why the ideals and politics behind collectives influence these dynamics in ways that run deeper than we might realize. Finally, we will explore the benefits of darkroom curation, the particularities of drug use in sex-positive spaces, and consent codes. We will conclude the workshop with an open discussion on the specific practical tools and structures that can be implemented and how these differ from those relevant to spaces that do not incorporate sex positivity. Wednesday, May 15, 2024, from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. The workshop will take place on-site in Berlinand will be led by Jessie from LECKEN. The workshop is aimed at everyone involved in nightlife, especially those who plan, organize, and work at sex-positive events.
