Post Porn Lab #08 — Peripheries of Visibility/ Territories of Resistance

We invite you to the eighth meeting as part of the Post Porn Lab series. This is a recurring event dedicated to experimental film, artistic and activist practices that work at the intersection of post-pornography, critical art, feminism, queer theory and body politics.

The program focuses on images and narratives operating outside the mainstream of visibility — on the peripheries of norm, aesthetics and power. The presented films explore the corporeality as a field of conflict, negotiation and emancipation, challenging the prevailing regimes of representation of sexuality, gender, desire and intimacy.

The periphery of visibility is a space for bodies, practices and experiences displaced, stigmatized or exoticised: a space for decolonising ideas and questioning mainstream narratives. It is also an area of aesthetic experimentation, hybrid forms and narrative cracks.

The territories of resistance set artistic and political strategies that regain agency over image, language and pleasure. Post-pornography is not a genre here, but a critical tool — a way of dismantling norms, destabilizing the visual order, and producing new notions of corporeality and relationships.

Post Porn Lab treats film projection as a space of community experience, a laboratory of thought, and a platform for dialogue. Each meeting builds a temporary community of audiences and creators, in which cinema becomes a field for renegotiating the politics of seeing, the ethics of representation and the possibilities of emancipatory visual practices.
