Porn Film Festival Amsterdam stands for plurality, art, pleasure and community. Our overarching objective is to create an exciting and accessible space for very different bodies and sexualities to come together. We explore desire in all its diversity, addressing urgent questions with a positive and creative attitude.

From February 6 to 9, we celebrate sex with films, workshops, talks, performances, art installations and two parties.

Draw Me Like One Of Your Camgirls
In this workshop we’ll explore the intersection of live figure drawing and camming. Participants will draw KinkBarbie, streaming live from Brazil via a camming platform. This mediated view of her body is used to reflect on how we perceive and represent it —essentially turning the camming experience into an art class.

The final hour will be a group discussion about what we drew, how the body is seen and portrayed through a screen, and what it means to engage with a body via camming. We’ll also touch on broader questions of intimacy, the gaze, and how camming shapes these interactions in ways both playful and political.

The tone is informal, the setting intimate. No art background required —just curiosity and willingness to engage in a different kind of life drawing.
 

Maximum participants: 15
