As a child we enjoy the burning feeling of somebody twisting your forearm in opposite directions. Do we as adults still enjoy it and do you give your partner the pleasure of an arm twist once in a while? Together with Mr. Rubber NL 2023; Dante Woods, we explore the notion of pleasure and pain. He will take us on a journey into the world of kink and maybe you will end up finding a nice kink for yourself, who knows.
Every month olfactory artist Frank Bloem curates a program where experts, artists, designers and scientists shift our perspectives on what we eat, drink, touch, inhale, secrete and smell. These so called "lower senses" are not only placed lower in our body but also were considered through history as lesser, more banal and not sophisticated. We think differently. Starting from a simple theme with a thought provoking question, we go on a journey and inviting people from different disciplines to discover the world that lies behind everyday phenomena.
