Exhibition “HOT and BADASS”

You are entering the premises of the publishing house HOT & BADASS. Inside, you will find the management office. The air is thick with a cloud of smell of tobacco and Malibu. The lighting is dim, glass tables and thick carpets add to the warmth yet decadent feeling of the room. Everyone is rushing in preparation for the upcoming shoot that will happen soon at the large production studio. The models are there, extravagantly dressed and oh! They are very sexy, of course…

Free entry

X-market

Want to leave the festival with a kinky souvenir? Come visit our X-MARKET!

We showcase local creators who offer a variety of hot products, including textile screen prints, prints and fanzines, harnesses, jewelry, and sextoys. And because information is also sexy, there will also be association stands and a selection of books on the theme of sexuality. Finally, it’s also an opportunity to get a tattoo!

Be sure to bring cash!

Migration path and exploitation: filming by or in collaboration with the sex workers involved

Round table discussion

Featuring UTSOPI, Andreïta, Neïmara Felix Cannella, Tanya Fileva

While the stigma surrounding sex work keeps the vast majority of those who engage in it in clandestine lifestyles, the intersection with other factors of vulnerability can lead to dramatic situations. Migrant sex workers without administrative recognition are among the most exposed groups to exploitative conditions. Therefore, bringing to public attention the complexities of migration journeys without objectifying those who experience them cannot be done without the active participation of those concerned.

This roundtable will discuss 2 film projects developed on this issue. UTSOPI will present its videos to raise awareness about the various aspects of exploitation, especially for people on the move. These videos are co-written with sex workers affected by these situations. Tanya Fileva will present her first film, Tamara’s Salvation, inspired by her experience in a Bulgarian human trafficking network. She will explain how she was able to set up this project, and the political issues that drive it.

Beurs (Gouden Zaal)

Performances Putes

Performances

PERFS PUTES nights are characteristic events of SNAP. They aim to provide a space for sex workers to experiment with direct public expression, whether they are beginners or experienced performers. Most of the performances presented at this event will be shown for the first time, with their fragility and sincerity, and their potential to transform imaginaries.

Because the prevailing narratives about sex work are still largely confined to invisibility or stereotype, melodrama or excitement, about fifteen sex workers take the stage tonight to expose their stories and bodies in action. The open doors are complex, funny, poetic, and moving. Of course. We will not stop saying it: sex workers are precious, their life choices are bold and courageous. Whores are beautiful.
