Ann Antidote, a queer and feminist shibari artist from Berlin, will be providing you with knowledge to take your bondage practice to the next level, regardless of if you are just beginning or already have experience. As well as safety, technique and some tricks, we’ll explore options for improvisation. Gain skills which – combined with your own imagination – will open up new, creative possibilities for everybody. The scope and depth covered will be adapted to the needs and speed of the participants, and people without bondage experience are welcome. Diversity of all kinds is not only welcome in this workshop, but a fundamental part of it, and we strive to collectively hold a safeR space! There is a limited amount of rope to lend: you can also bring your own. Bring comfortable clothes, and something to practice on (e.g. pillow, blanket, yoga mat) if you have it.

The raised money will be donated towards the Amsterdam Street Medics collective, which is dedicated to providing first aid and emergency care at activist hotspots or events, assisting with health related issues, aiding in locating resources (such as mental health support, addiction treatment, etc), and listening when it's needed.
