Hormonal Dominance

Thursday Oct 2 / 19.00 / Korvfabriken – Styckmästargatan 6 

Ever since Zafira Vrba Woodski was prescribed hormones for the first time, they have explored playful ways to take them – not as medication, but as part of an erotic, spiritual and sometimes sexual practice. Hormonal Dominance is about rewriting the script (and prescription), to invite pleasure and euphoria into areas of our lives where we are expected to feel dysphoria.

“Massaging my forearms with estrogen gel every morning has become a ritual, a hormonal meditation. I feel fertile, creative, and submissive. The estrogen prescribed by Anova doesn’t treat me, it dominates me. The estrogen has become my lover, my top, my dominatrix, someone who controls my body and my feelings, takes the initiative, and takes care of me based on a mutual, consensual agreement. I’ve become medically infertile from the treatment, but my creativity and fertility flourish. My friend Lasse Långström often says that gender is only relevant as a fetish. I totally agree. And if gender is a fetish, hormones are its poetry.”
