09:30 - 11:30 Kink and Intersectionality. L2
"Kink has been around for decades (if not centuries at this point) and there are so many reasons to explore the many dimensions and layers within it. Why do it? Or why not to do it? Kink does not exist in a vacuum and it is not a one dimensional collective of acts, practices and ways for over 18 y/os to play. Join this workshop to find out why kink is an art, a form of activism, a body-awareness practices, as well as a way to create clarity around the topics of boundaries, ethics and chosen layers of transparency.
The format is an active discussion and self-research lab
Pen, paper, way to take notes, questions and open mind.

11:30 - 12:30 Dare to Care - festival goer & active bystander. Room L7
Dare to Care is a collaboration between the Swedish network for live music organizers and the national organization for sexual education. We provide with trainings and communication materials. The trainings bring up how one, both as an organization and as an individual, can be prepared to act. And how to take care of something that has gone wrong - to ensure victims are taken care of and get the support they need. You also get a chance to reflect on norms and values that instead boost the behavior that can promote a culture where sexual mutuality is the norm.

14:00 - 17:00 Dominance & Submission. L2
Power is so frequently displayed in the media as toxic or contaminated - too many and genuinely wonderful individuals become possessive warmongers, too little and one is seen as weak and possessing no will of their own. What if Caritia told you it is far more nuanced than that? What if there is another perspective, another lens by which power could be seen? One that stripes away the shame and guilt, allowing for communicated joy and support in reclaiming your desire(s). Join Caritia for this hands-on workshop about power, power play and hierarchical dynamics from a perspective you may find truly uplifting.

15:30 - 16:30 Double oppression: lgbtqi youth of color. Room L7
Safe meeting places is a foundation our community is built upon, for those experiencing multiple oppressions - both as lgbtqi people and as people of color this is even more important. In spite of this there's an opposition from some politicians as well as a resistance and questioning of separatist meeting spaces from inside of the lgbtqi community at large.

17:00 - 19:00 BDSM solo play. Room L7
The pandemic has seriously restricted our possibilities to play and be kinky. This does however bring an opportunity to go deeper into our relationship to ourselves. Solo play can scratch that itch of BDSM while building your self-relationship and teaching you about what you like. We will work with recognizing what kind of touch we crave from ourself and learn tips and tricks for getting our freak on, solo. We will also discuss safety and the concepts of negotiation and aftercare in solo play. This workshop is aimed at people with LGBTIQA+ kinky identities.
