Join us for a screening/sharing of pornographic and fetishistic materials collected and examined by Panteha Abareshi over the course of their research. The artist will lead a lecture-based discussion around the sick/Crip body’s representation in these explicit materials. This program will be an exploration of how the disabled body is made into and used as [sex] object, and an interrogation of consent, control, pleasure and power through a close examination of a slew of porno vids, fetish pics and kinky JPEGs. Please note: 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗦𝗙𝗪 & 𝟭𝟴+, bear in mind that we will be watching and discussing explicit pornographic material, and some of these may be difficult and challenging to view. This program is first and foremost a safe space of non-judgement, but also one dedicated to pushing into what is most taboo, unknown and uncomfortable as a means of expanding how we know, see and image the sick/Crip subject.
