Kinki kioski 24 th and 25 th May. Myös Studios.
“The post-porn movement is the process of becoming a subject of those bodies that until now have only been abject objects of pornographic representation: women, sexual minorities, non-white bodies, transsexual, intersex and transgender people, deformed or disabled bodies. It is a process of empowerment and re-appropriation of sexual representation”.
Paul B. Preciado.
Parole de Queer magazine 2009.
Setted out as a sort of video-club with the energy of queer bars and parties, Kinki Kioski will navigate sexuality and desire representations that defy the hegemonic gaze.
Considering that like gender, desire is socially constructed as well, this mini post-porn festival will bring artists and collectives that reflect and act on those topics.
Situated as trans-feminist project, some key concepts around post-porn have to do with consent and care, sex workers rights, community and non normative representations of the body, gender and pleasure. Beyond the erotic consumption of images for masturbatory purposes, this pro-sex queer movement, sets out political tools and narratives to change the imaginarium around sexuality, identity and desire.

Kinki kioksi 2024: 24 th and 25 th of May
Location: Myös studios, in Nilsiänkatu.
Friday 24 th May: Dark rooms, cruising, parties, clubs and other places for queer joy.
5 pm. Screenings. 90 min aprox.
Naked Bodies, Bared Souls: queer feminist porn.
The program is curated by Masha Ravlyk and Ton Melnyk.
The program includes six short films from Ukraine, Poland and Romania. They vary in content and form: works with a decent budget and amateur DIY porn, films with a plot and video clips, created by artists and by activists. All of them are based on principles of non-violence, consent and pleasure. They are also about a variety of experiences, which include different bodies, genders, identities, feelings and practices. These films are not only about bodies becoming naked, but also about baring souls.
Through this program, we can see how filmmakers make porn a political gesture of criticism and resistance to conservative society and politics.
