Queering Perspectives Festival: YOUR SEXTS ARE SHIT: OLDER BETTER LETTERS

Your Sexts Are Shit: Older Better Letters is an intimate, funny, filthy, and moving solo show from Rachel Mars that triangulates the sex and love letters of long-dead artists, contemporary sexts, and a meditation on the construction of the queer female body. Come! Take pleasure in James Joyce’s passion for arse, find out who sneaked her gay lover into the White House, hear from Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, Mozart and bear witness to the best/worst sexts ever sent, in an erotic archive shot through with Rachel’s personal ventures in contemporary Queer kink.
A joint Q&A with Salty Brine will be on Friday, February 23rd.
The Queering Perspectives Festival interrogates conventional, culturally normative performance. We want to create a platform for the othered, experimental, and subversive, pushing the boundaries of their form in pursuit of new research and artistic production. QPF has the agenda of sparking new conversations about performance on campus. We want performance to be a springboard for conversation into sexualities, genders, bodies, races, ethnicities, abilities, and desires.
