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?

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.
