an afternoon celebrating butch identities

We embrace this fall with the second edition of Oda Butch, a multidisciplinary and collaborative gathering on butch identities.

This event is a community-based, open space for discussion and reflection on identities, intersections, archives, the meaning of words, and the elasticity of language in the current context.

A gathering that aims to celebrate, share, and highlight the diverse ways in which butch identity affects us.

program

We will have the presentation of the second issue of the publication Oda Butch, an activity for adults led by Urko (Barcelona) that addresses the topic of BDSM in queer/butch identities, and, to conclude, a striptease workshop from the perspective of queer masculinities led by Magic Dyke (Berlin).

Throughout the day, the ‘Inventario de objetos butch’ will be on display, a photographic collection by Marta Velazco (artist in residence at La Escocesa) that explores the relationship between bodies traversed by butch identity and their objects. The exhibition will consist of photographs provided by the queer community in Barcelona.

There will also be a games area with a ping pong table, a bar area, and other spaces for socializing and relaxing.
