Oral Sex: Continuing the Tradition

Building on the age-old tradition of passing on history from one generation to the next through storytelling and folktales, this workshop invites participants to explore how different generations of gay men found social, emotional, and physical connection before today’s app culture. Participants will be given prompts to help them recall and share stories from their own erotic biographies, including experiences connected to bars, bathhouses, rest stops, piers, bookstores, nude beaches, personal ads, AOL chatrooms, parks, gym showers, and other spaces of gay connection.

The Art of the Sensual Selfie

Self-portraits, where the artist and model are one and the same, can be a powerful tool for self-knowledge and self-expression. In this workshop, participants will explore photography as a way to reveal the body privately or share it intentionally with others. Using cell phones, participants will take a series of selfies that can become a personal portfolio or be shared with others. This workshop invites a playful and thoughtful exploration of sensuality, embodiment, and how we choose to present ourselves to the world.
