Workshop: Awareness for sex-positive parties with LECKEN

This workshop will focus on the structural layers of care and support that create and maintain sex positive parties. We will look at mediation, de-escalation and addressing confrontations in substance and sex positive environments, taking self-awareness within the team as the foundation upon which to build our strategies. After a short introduction to the dynamics of darkrooms, cruising and sex positive environments within event spaces, we will touch on exploring non-consumerist approaches to awareness work, and how and why the ideals and politics behind collectives affect these dynamics in ways deeper than we might think. Lastly we will explore the benefits of darkroom curation, the particularities of drug use in sex positive spaces, and consent codes. Ending the workshop with an open discussion on the specific practical tools and structures which can be implemented and how these differ from those relevant to spaces not incorporating sex positivity. Wednesday, 15th of May 2024, from 11 am – 5 pm The workshop will take place on site in Berlin  and will be held by Jessie from LECKEN. The workshop is aimed at everyone involved in nightlife, especially those who plan, organize and work at sexpositive events.
