We stand at the edge of the world’s mercy, as subjects destined to fall. Instead, we posit: what might unfurl when we discard the uniform of the individual, and instead orient towards tinkering with the fluctuating dynamics of desire, value, infrastructure, touch, and language. Don’t be fooled, for the dynamics are brittle. Unrestricted interplay has a limit, and method is to be found at its rim. That a tangible or decorative item may serve as recognition or evidence of merit might somehow become a logic of itself. This publication presents a collection of explorations of excess, limitation, dehydrated thought, proclivity, sublimation, debauchery, and the . Indeed, the subject is destined to fall, but ultimately does not! As we reckon with the illegibility of merit, we are beckoned to reconsider our relationship to one another, the unseen settings of nostalgia, the monolithic, and the stifling hold that comes not from the absence of violence, but the sheer overabundance of it. The winner just might take it all, but we’re all destined to some sort of trophy.
Participants: Brandon Chow, Jody Aikman, Kessy Paller-Bain, Maximilian Pellizzari, Milda Valiulytė, António Manso Preto, Macarena Magaña Villar, Sara Vallis, Cecilie Jensen, Iris Verge Ferrer

2nd of June marks the day that in 1975 over 100 sex workers occupied a church in Lyon to demand better rights, and the end of the incarceration of sex workers. This day became International Whores Day on which we still come together to demand better rights and for all forms of sex work. For the fourth time we invite sex workers, allies and those who want to get to know us to the Pleasure Providers Pillow Talks.
We have 3 amazing guests from different parts of the field that will come and share their knowledge and experiences with us. At this gathering we hand the microphone over to the sex-workers themselves, a chance to reclaim the narrative. Pleasure Providers Pillow Talks highlights the importance to listen, as well as being heard. PPPTalks aims to create a warm and secured space. Next to reflecting there will also be the celebration of the existence of whores. In our space and our day the community doesn’t have to hide, this day is ours, we are allowed to thrive.
