13:30 - 14:30 Courageous Relating. Room L3
In this lecture you will learn about monogamy/polyamory/relationship norms from an existential standpoint. As an Existential Coach, I support people in exploring how they relate to themselves and others, as well as to life (and death!) itself.
I am a boardmember of RFSU Stockholm, a part of the team behind The Free Relationship Group, and a poly-political activist. My mission is the modernization of family law, securing the right to form a chosen family constellation without being excluded from the social security system, in case it transcends the norm of two. The law should support, not supress us in creating equal and consenting relationships.

14:00 - 16:00 #AreWeIncluded? Room L7
Sex workers have always been part of the LGBTQI+ movement and LGBTQI+ people are over-represented in the sex worker population. Despite this, sex workers are often excluded from the LGBTQI+ community and the fight for human rights. How do the multiple stigmas of being a sex worker and migrant and/or LGBTQI+ affect sex workers’ access to services, health and justice?
A panel of sex workers discuss the current situation in Sweden with a focus on LGBTQI+ and migrant sex workers, and the effects of the Swedish model together with sociologist researcher Niina Vuolajärvi and ICRSE’s program officer Sabrina Sanchez. Organised by Red Umbrella Sweden; a Swedish organisation, advocating for the rights, safety, justice and self determination of sex workers.

Through poetry and academese, Andy ""AndySlander"" Zetreus delivers an argument for the rights of children in general, and queer children in particular, to free themselves from destructive parenting. From posthuman to postcolonial theory; from manga to science fiction; from classic literature to documentary films; from personal narrative to revolutionary manifesto; from sexual abuse to liberation; this radical treatise on the creation of the concept ""childing"" is a queer challenge to the domineering trope of adults’ right to parent, even queer adults.
This is the first public presentation of Andy’s Master’s thesis called “ (dark ecriture!)
(pain! terror! suffering! death!)
