This year we won’t be sitting at home alone, eating our feelings. Instead we’ll be dishing up a delicious selection of quality porn to share with you. Yes, you heard us, quality porn. We’ll be taking an alternative approach to the film genre. Think ethics and aesthetics. Think feminist. Think queer.

Porn is undoubtedly enmeshed in the gym-sock fabric of our society. And yet it remains a big taboo; few can talk about their porno habits without going red in the face. Some can’t get enough of it and some happily earn a living from it, while others suffer abuse in the same industry. Valentine’s Day offers us the perfect opportunity to undress porno of all its clichés in search of its good side, in search of alternative porn.

We’re putting on a late-night programme with a porn bar and porno films, all with a focus on pleasure, respect, intimacy, passion, love and lust. We want to unite the porn-watchers of the world and stoke the fires of the curious, to invite everyone to view and reflect on this phenomenon in a safe space. We trust we’ll see you there – don’t make us ask ‘did you come??’

PORNY BAR from 21:00 to 01:00, free entry

Drinks & music w/ Man.Ou.Elle

PERFORMANCE BY DOLLY BING BING, 22:00, free entry

In the porny bar, Dolly Bing Bing wants to be your cybersexual fantasy. She pushes at the limits of human life into a hybrid, enhanced, angelic and heavenly beyond. With glistening, supernatural physique and painted face, she is a singing sculpture in a dark theatre of softcore performance art. Alongside musical partner Alien Observer, Dolly weaves a trippy soundtrack to a metaphysical, transcendent future.
