But I’m a creep!

Last year, we explored the nature of creepiness in kinky spaces in depth with our workshop On Creepy Old Mxn & Beyond. For the 2020 year-in-review issue of the social magazine ROM and its cover story “Community in Crisis,” Beatka wrote an insight and lab report on the topic, which has now been beautifully illustrated and printed. The whole issue is full of smart ideas; the €12 is money well spent if you’d like to grab a copy here : https://rom-mag.com It’s cold and we’re in lockdown—the perfect time for reading.

Of course, a text like this doesn’t emerge in a vacuum; rather, it is enriched by conversations and inspiration drawn from hands-on experiments involving many different participants. Thanks for the intensive exchange on the topic go to, among others, Matís d'Arc, Taiga Trigo, Rebecca Jackson, Pau Line, Piuuchis Mia, Anna Natt, Anima Amina Sebastian Köthe, Amalion Vom Elffensteyn, Nele Hiller, Chris Ifso, and of course Sophia Lohmann
