Project SAFE and Queer Pro Quo invite the Oxy community to explore pleasure as a political, embodied, and liberatory force.
Location:
Fowler 112
Event Date: Mar. 17, 2026
Drawing inspiration from Audre Lorde’s seminal essay “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power,” participants will unpack how erotic power challenges systems of domination, reclaiming desire as a source of knowledge, resistance, and collective transformation.
Through discussion, guided reflection, and small-group activities, this session will connect queer pleasure politics with practices of consent, boundaries, and healing, using the lens of BDSM as both metaphor and praxis for radical autonomy and relational care.
