Welcome to UNCENSORED 17-18-19 May London. A three-day festival exploring art at the intersection of pornography and activism. If you like this event why not buy a festival PASS to have full access to the programme whilst making big savings.
What happens to sex when there are no gender roles? Can we think of ungendered sex?
Ågrup and Myxx will bring to UNCENSORED a performance/life drawing session with two trans/non-binary life models who will perform still sex offering to the participants an array of poses of various sex practices.
Untitled nudes features transmasculine bodies and sexualities that are underrepresented, marginalised and, in a sense, ‘censored’ by the mainstream sex and gender regime. Ågrup and Myxx explore the notions of gender identity and gender performativity, challenging the established heteronormative-cisgender setting of life drawing sessions and the implicit rule that the body to be looked at should be one and available to be sexualised as long as its own sexuality isn’t expressed more actively. Untitled nudes is a powerful critique of normative perceptions of sex and gender through the encounter of two bodies that resist titles and classification.
The music that will be played during the session will mainly be by trans/non-binary artists in an attempt to bring together different types of performativity coming from trans people.
Materials will be provided.
