10:00-11:00 Pearls Before Swine. Room L4 & L5
I knew coming out as trans wouldn't be easy. But nothing could have prepared me for the constant offers of money in exchange for sex. As an artist, my way of dealing with this is by creating art. Join me when I talk about what led up to me creating Pearls Before Swine and what it's like trying to find an identity while being told that your worth is in being someone’s fetish.

11:30 - 12:30 Förändringar i familjelagstiftningen. Rum L7
Från och med nästa år blir reglerna kring föräldraskap samma för alla gifta par, dvs båda i paret blir automatiskt föräldrar och vårdnadshavare från födseln. En statlig utredning som nyligen presenterats föreslår också att utländska föräldraskap ska kunna erkännas i fler fall än tidigare, dvs att samkönade par som flyttar till Sverige i större utsträckning än idag ska räknas som föräldrar även här. Det är förändringar som RFSL länge arbetat för. Under seminariet reder vi ut vad förändringarna innebär lite mer i detalj. Och vilka begränsningar som fortfarande kommer gälla. Längd: 60 min

13:30-15:30 Ace of Baes – #genuinelyNOfuckstogive. Room L2
"Ace of Baes is a series of video portrayals where twelve asexuals step forward from a position of being marginalized, to raise awareness on a group of queers that face many false assumptions based on stereotypes and prejudice. Asexuals share similar forms of heteronormative oppression as many gay and trans people; Being misdiagnosed and wrongly medicated, victims of corrective rape and misinformed about their queerness being valid, leaving only choices of hiding their true identity or living a life as outcasts. Some of the Ace of Baes featured in the documentary are model Yasmin Benoit (UK), actress Noreen Quadir (US) and the ace activists Sebastian Wolf Mohlin (SWE), Vesper Hill aka QueerAsCat (JAP) and Harris-Hijiri (JAP). Ace of Baes is a movement, a proud community of those that identify within the ace spectrum and who have #genuinlyNOfuckstogive.
Ace of Baes has previously been screened at AMOQA: Athens Museum of Queer Arts, Thessaloniki Queer Arts Festival and Athens Pride Week (GRC), Flux Factory in New York for Utopia School (USA), Reykjavík Fringe Fest (ISL) as well as Stockholm Fringe Fest, Malmö Queer Film Festival and Uppsala Pride (SWE).

14:00 - 16:00 Queer Revolution in Tarot. Kanalscenen
The tarot can be a powerful tool for self-reflection, but what happens when you can’t recognize yourself in the characters on the cards? We are interested in making the tarot more gender-fluid and opening up the meaning of each card to include people’s diverse experience of life. With Mélissa’s recently published tarot deck as a starting point, we will discuss how for example a card traditionally called The Lovers can speak to a person who does not experience romantic or sexual attraction. After the presentation we will open up for questions and offer three card readings to the event’s guests.

15:30-16:30 Pointy Yet Pointless. Rum L7
How long do I need to be on HRT before my breasts become inappropriate? This question made me create my artwork Pointy Yet Pointless. But blurred out nipples on trans femme's chests is just a tiny part of a much bigger problem. Listen in on a discussion about censorship of LGBTQ+ people and how gay and trans erasure makes the world seem a lot less queer than it actually is.

16:30-17:30 Att arbeta som uppsökare i Malmös erotiska oaser under 1990-talet. Rum L2
"Män har i alla tider träffats på avskilda platser för sexuella äventyr med varandra. Så även i Malmö. En särskild typ av arena för sexuella möten mellan män utgjordes under 1990-talet av stadens parker, stränder, täta buskage eller offentliga toaletter. Det är på dessa platser som jag under ett par år på 1990-talet haft förmånen att arbeta uppsökande med bl.a. samtal och utdelning av kondomer och glidmedel. Jag har inför min boktext även mött tre män, som delat med sig av sina historier och erfarenheter, och som jag väver samman med mina egna tillbakablickar. Välkommen till Malmös erotiska oaser!
Jack Lukkerz är sexolog och forskare vid Malmö universitet och har tidigare jobbat vid RFSL Rådgivningen Skåne.

17:00 - 18:00 Queering Shakespeare. Room L7 and Digital
Based on research for her doctoral thesis and on her creative practice as director with an amateur theatre company, Mette Hildeman Sjölin presents examples of three different ways of including LGBTQ+ characters and relationships in the worlds of Shakespeare's plays: instances in Shakespeare's text where a character or relationship can be interpreted as LGBTQ+, instances where the re-gendering of a character in performance entails the depiction of a same-sex relationship, and instances where Shakespeare's plays have been adapted by more recent authors in a way that queers characters and relationships. The lecture is complemented by staged readings from the plays.
