The Sydney Queer Erotic Festival
The Sydney Queer Erotic Festival is a full day festival of over 20 workshops and performances exploring different aspects and variations of queer eroticism. The festival combines erotic education with the visual and performing arts and embodiment. For us, queer eroticism implies a kind of creativity, a way of being inventive. It involves playing with codes, genders and genres, mixing them together, to make them say or become something else. To be queer is to play on a different basis, according to different rules.East Sydney Community Arts Centre, Darlinghurst, 9:30am-8pm
