Throb Finders is an interactive online workshop to practice exploring, sharing and enacting desires. It involves looking, breathing, tracing (with our fingers, noses and mouths) playing with objects in our homes, talking to each other in small groups and all together too. We’ll be referring not to our own body parts, but to pleasure pouches which exist via an online portal featured in the images below.
You might be someone for whom exploring your desires at a physical distance from others is something you’re familiar with, because of your own preferences or the constraints placed on you by the discriminatory practices of wider society… or it might be a new thing for you brought on by the social distancing rules in response to the pandemic. This workshop is a chance to try out articulating your desires, seeing how they align with the others on your screen, and how they have the potential to form the basis of community building. The content is not explicitly sexual, but splashes about in the rocky waters of bodies, fantasies and identity politics.
