Queer and independent porn seek to create an alternate world to that seen in the mainstream. By creating art that plays with outsider identity, sexuality and politics, we create our own narratives in an often-hostile world. However, there are still many identities and experiences that we are not engaging with because of their lack of aesthetic visibility.

Although we commonly see vital issues of racism, colonialism, violence, queerphobia and shaming attitudes to sex and sexuality challenged on screen, there are still many issues that remain invisible. Health issues and disabilities, ageing or chronic sickness are rarely celebrated or challenged in postporn, despite many in our community living with these conditions.

This panel, led by porn performer and sex worker rights activist KAy Garnellen, will address ways in which postporn can provide vital representation to often invisibilized experiences that exist in our community and why this is important.
