An interactive installation that employs UV-reactive slime as a tactile medium to combat anxiety and gives us a place where we can play, connect and collaborate. Inspired by the mating rituals of the Leopard Slug, Slime Time creates a visual representation of the Leopard Slug’s male/female dichotomy-challenging genitalia as a platform to converse about queerness and gender fluidity. Escape the detachment of the pandemic through sensory touch and play. Relax and unwind in a safe, queer space by trying something deliciously different. Don’t worry, we’re all slugly here. Attendance information: slime is messy, it gets stuck to clothes! Underwear or slime-proof/washable clothes are ideal (no sequins or fishnets) and excess garments will be safely stored by our host slugs, Groups will be held in bubbles, the room will be cleaned between sessions, and there will be UV and strobe lighting.

Cold be the sea foam; hot be the loin;
Here be the power where the hands join.

There he is! hauled by sledge across hard packed sand and shells by 1000 sweating men, Buoys Buoys Buoys is Swansea’s best vore poet.
Your land and mine goes down into a darkness now. And I, and all the other bardic guardians of her flame are driven from home, up out into the wolf's jaw.
Oi! Nameless things floundering on slimy beds; our sacred demons of ungovernableness; spindly bones littering a heaving gut; baptised in giddy silver tears and the lick of damp kelp smoke you’ll emerge from froth casting jagged shadows and ready to dance.

Being LGBTQ+ can often pose a barrier to travelling, but a pandemic summer staycation on TERF island isn't so appealing either. In the face of the increasing use of “bad science” by British conservatives to naturalise hierarchies, justify their rejection of our communities, and increasingly limit our access to vital healthcare, here our three brave gayfaring panelists don their white coats to revisit some classical questions whose answers are so often relied upon by those who seek to exclude queer and trans people: What is nature? What is sex? What do the rich tapestry of sexual desires have to do with biology, if anything?

Licking desperately at the supernal from her rotting mire, she writhes in glorious tragedy with a mouthful of flesh. Sarahsson’s exploration of mutability and a synaesthetic tongue breeds an intense tenderness, reimagining their voice and classical instruments beyond the earthly, embodying harmony-within-dissonance—grotesque yet seductive—and the polychotomous nature of queerness. Tangled in hair and glistening taffeta, festooned with bedazzled contact microphones, and reaching inside an aural interface to reconnect whirling bodies of sound and matter.

The futures that we expected have failed to happen. The shadow of modernist promise is thick and disorienting. The subject required for an exit from the end of history—a collective subject—does not exist, yet the crisis demands that it be established, connected, constructed. Join us at the event space in St Anne’s House for a night of chaos and dance hosted by Palace Collective members and some of the UK’s most innovative queer DJs and producers to INVENT TOGETHER. The lag of a Zoom call, the distortion of drive, the fresh joy of our community reuniting and remodelling under the hallowed guidance of thundering bass and crackling hi-hats: this is where we can begin to form our future.
