"ero.t.i.c zine studio"
Crushed, the first Ero.t.i.c Zine Studio, is a creative platform to make your own ero.t.i.c zine (graphzines, small press, underground art, independent publications...) with your own ero.t.i.c texts and images (drawing, collage...) about pleasure, desire, lust, and love.
The four-days-long workshop will feature a series of thematic ero.t.i.c writing and drawing studios and will culminate in the creation of a personal intimate zine. Group readings, smutty film screenings, creative techno orgies are part of the program.

about
CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP
In this workshop you will focus on ero.t.i.c writing in many different forms. You can decide to write in your mother tongue or in English. Through different topics (desire, lust, radical tenderness...), you will have the opportunity to explore different types of poetry and prose styles, as well as responding to literature, quotes, immersive experiences, and music.
LECTURE PERFORMANCE & READING
You will also regularly read your texts, and optionally create a lecture performance or sound poetry piece. You will investigate the use of dialogue, texts, words to influence and enhance performance, whether it is dance or physical theatre, explore the connections between language and body, text and movement.
ERO.T.I.C COLLAGE WORKSHOP
Through cutouts and collages on desire, passion and lust, you will be invited to create a new po.r.n.o.g.raphic aesthetics of radical tenderness. You will invent new ethics and politics of po.r.n.o.g.raphic, in which the focus is switched from brutality, sexual objectification, and abuse to mutual respect, consent, and care.
NUDE DRAWING STUDIO
In the n.u.d.e life drawing studio you will become both artist and model, observer and observed. You will sketch with pencils, your fingers and your tongue represented, interpreted or imagined bodies and desires. You will also discover the performative and choreographic potential of drawing and finish the studio in a burlesque techno orgy.
EROTIC ZINE MAKING
The workshop-series will culminate in the creation of your own dirty zine, composed of your images (drawing, collage...) and texts.
PUBLICATION
Following the camp, if you give us permission, your texts will be published online.
