9.04.2025 SWEAT IT OUT @ Badhus sauna, Amsterdam I read some of my work at SWEAT IT OUT, a queer poetry evening organised at Badhus in Amsterdam-Noord, where we alternated between visiting the sauna and listening to poetry. Poems were centred around catharis and letting go, in theme with the cleansing function of a sauna. A queer sauna event, the queer history of saunas and bathhouses was also considered at the event. Badhus is not an explicitly queer space, so by coming into the sauna with our queer poems, we queered the sauna space. More info about Badhus can be found here. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
