note on "p_rn"


when I use the term p_rn in my work, i do so in the sense of post-p_rn, a movement that critically engages with the politics of representation, desire, embodiment and politics beyond mainstream pornography. rooted in feminist, queer, and anti-capitalist discourse, post-p_rn challenges normative narratives of sexuality, reclaims agency over the body, and explores intimacy, power, and pleasure through radical, subversive, and artistic lenses.  all festivals that I work with share these ethics.
