OXIgarten Invites: Lecken [OpenAir]

Lecken is an erogenous rave with a strong commitment to the dance floor. Lecken is also a platform for somatic expansion and collective transformation, a community art space, a queer counter-economy and a constant work in progress. Hailing from Berlin, which already boasted a vast sex-positive infrastructure for gay men, our mission has been to make that queer rave space more inclusive and responsive to the needs of the sexually oppressed. But how exactly do you empower the margins? How do you queer a dark room? And is there such a thing as the “feminist perverse”? At Lecken, rave is praxis. The dark room starts on the dance floor, the vibe is a sound-smell and the crowd is assembled through discourse. We love learning and skill-sharing, room-making and costume-jamming, we are passionate about hosting and we always dance till the end.
