OUTBURST SPECIAL SCHOOL: Crip/queer programme 

‘Some of the most exciting queer art and thinking in recent years has come from where queerness and disability meet. Like queer, crip(ple) is an insult that has been radically reclaimed by some disabled people and, similarly, it questions the value given to being ‘normal’ – normal desires, normal bodies, normal minds – and imagines the future otherwise.’ Daniel Bermingham

Ravelength #2

  This time we will focus on GHB/GBL, a drug that is causing stir among the communities of queer ravers due to being easy to misuse, that can lead to overdose - often called “collapsing”. Despite being knit-tight with sex and parties, G is an addictive depressant that remains shrouded in myths and confusion. “G” has been around for very long, starting as a medicine and having caught the party scene's attention for its social and sexual lubricant, being called “liquid ecstasy” and far more powerful than alcohol.   Why did it generate so much controversy in the past years around the queer party scene? What are the alarming signs of G addiction and what kind of resources do we have to tackle it?    To explore these questions, for this session we invited Wanda Gaimes, party organizer and awareness worker from queer feminist sex party Lecken (Berlin), Filipe Couto Gomes (psychiatrist, Lisbon) working with addiction and mental health, focused on queer people, sex-workers and migrants, and Bernardo Rahe (psychiatrist, São Paulo), working in LGBTQ mental health and substance use and Mariana Cunha (pharmacist, Lisbon), working in harm reduction and drug checking with Kosmicare and Ravelength. The talk will be moderated by Pedro Marum.
