Come and share the heat with other queers while you enjoy some queer sound art and maybe a cold bath. The sound sauna is not included in the festival pass or the combined ticket for the evening.

Rosa Brus – Territorial Pissing is a collaborative queer noise piece between Seroconversion, poet Kristofer Folkhammar and sociologist Arne Nilsson. Through images, soundscapes and poetry it explores public bathrooms as queer spaces.

These concrete spaces tell stories of gay men’s cruising patterns, living conditions and personal fates. How queer desire, bodily waste (urine) and femininity have shared the status of being something unwanted through history. And how gay men, through their queer practices in these spaces, have transformed the societal boundaries between the public and the private.

Seroconversion is a queer noise project by Birt Berglund and Johan Sundell.
