Visite #12 — SALACIOUS SHAME AND SURRENDERING SLUTS
26.04.2025

On Saturday 26 April, we invite you to Out of Sight for Visite #12 — SALACIOUS SHAME AND SURRENDERING SLUTS, a day filled with films, performances and talks.

Visite #12 is realised as part of the first Cinema Session, a collaboration between Out of Sight and MORPHO. Cinema Sessions is a programme of short film and video work, presented four times a year across the spaces of both organisations. Each session is curated by an invited guest, responding to the artistic interests of current MORPHO residents and Out of Sight’s evolving programme.

Programme:

13:30-14:30 | Chapter 1. CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER
Five student short films inviting the female body to express itself in all its vulgarity, softness, and familiarity.

• Che Go Eun, The Taste of Tea
• Amber Dooms, My Little Ambi
• Albina Gaitova, Somewhere We Meet in the Blue Light
• Ella Schöning, A Touch of Schism
• Max Ferguson, You Are the Truck and I Am the Deer

15:00-16:20 | Chapter 2. WOMB WARRIORS
Celebrating and mourning the womb as a bearer of tears and fears. The womb as a site of receptivity, reflexivity, revolution, and resolution. Three short films sharing the pain and trauma of the female body within a patriarchal medical system, followed by a live Grunt performance by Diane Mahin.

• Marie Bottois, Le Passage Du Col
• Carole Roussopoulos, Y’a Qu’à Pas Baiser!
• Tabita Rezaire, Sugar Walls Teadom
• Diane Mahín, Grunt (performance)

17:00-18:30 | Chapter 3. UNIONISING
A political manifesto in the first person. Exploring the world of sex work from the perspective of the women portrayed, the film opens a debate on its taboos and precariousness. After the screening of the film there is a conversation with Utsopi and Boysproject. Utsopi is a Belgian community organization that defends the rights of sex workers, and Boysproject is an Antwerp-based social organisation for men, non-binary individuals and trans women who earn money from sex.

• Maria Galindo & Mujeres Creando, Revolución Puta

19:00-22:00 | Chapter 4. UTOPIA
Let’s view the erotic as a teacher, be cautious of censorship, and grow collectively towards a destiny filled with love, surrender, and ecstasy. Let’s unleash the body, its wisdom, its power, its fury, and its fluids. In resistance, we dance; for resilience, we dance!

• Isabel Burr Raty, The Bloody Mary Performance (participatory lecture)
• Thilde, Spring Showers & Zora The Hooker, Jezebel Studio Pole Performance

Visite #12 — SALACIOUS SHAME AND SURRENDERING SLUTS is curated by Eva van Tongeren (de Imagerie), in collaboration with Out of Sight and Emily Walter & Max Ferguson (LuCi moving image collective).
