    Description

    Hoi Polloi invites you to a day of talks about sex and sexuality

    What does sex and sexuality mean to us now in a world where sex and physical action is evolving to become more and more divided?

    Erotic Possibilities is a series of panel talks, inviting different practitioners who in one way or another have benefitted professionally from sex and sexuality. The talks will investigate the evolvement of sex and sexuality today and explore the meaning of sex and music, celebrity, fashion, art, publishing, activism and photography.

    Hosted by Reba Maybury of Wet Satin Press and Matthew Holroyd of Baron and Baroness Magazines.

    We live in a world where there is more and more information and less and less meaning’ stated the philosopher and sociologist Jean Baudrillard (1994).
