Devil’s Dyke Network presents the “Ace Space” workshop as part of “Joy – A Queer Feminist Exhibition”
This exhibition takes place at the Ledward Centre from the 20th January until 27th February 2024.
Join us for an intimate gathering where we'll explore discussions on queer sexuality, stepping away from the patriarchal expectation of spontaneous desire as the norm. This inclusive space welcomes anyone interested in connecting around ACE spectrum identities, including demi and gray A individuals, as well as those whose experiences deviate from hypersexualized norms. If you're intrigued by conversations on responsive desire, you're more than welcome too.
In this laid-back and creative environment, we aim to celebrate the joy within our diverse experiences, making them visible to one another. Our conversations will revolve around concepts such as responsive and spontaneous desire, drawing inspiration from Emily Nagoski's recommended book, "Come as You Are." No prior knowledge of specific terms or identification is necessary to attend, as we'll be learning together. This gathering offers an opportunity to carve out an alternative to hypersexualization, challenge objectifying norms, and address the pervasive lack of accurate information through collaborative peer learning. Come join us in fostering a supportive and informative space for meaningful discussions.
The Ledward Centre is fully wheelchair accessible and we will be meeting downstairs in the exhibition space, which can be accessed via stairs or a lift.
