Sexual wellbeing becomes a demanding antithesis to the silence and shame that circulate around queer intimacy, when queer students confront gaps and errors in sex-ed lessons by pointing to the obvious: current education on sexuality is created by and for a system of heteronormativity.

A sensory story set in an embroidery frame. While the frame is being freed from old and dusty connotations, so is the body – creating space for times of beauty and self-care, love and celebration, colours, reflections, and hair. Generously, we are allowed to catch a glimpse.

Under a veranda, 77-year-old Malou shares a cup of tea with Sinoë. A simple break. Pausing allows her to confide in the evolution of her relationship with her body. Stories from the past that continuously shape Malou’s life gently touch upon a collective present.

A body, forcefully shaped from the outside. Observing eyes, moulding hands. Gigi tells the story of a little mermaid. Though tormented by body dysmorphia, the mermaid decided to transform into a humorous and sensitive woman rather than fading in the sea foam.

Touching, growing, caring, dancing. Seedlings climbing around fingertips, birds morphing into humans. But the tender touches slowly fade as the shadows grow and the witches of the forest start to disappear. Rooted in patriarchal violence, history keeps repeating itself.
