The journey of postporn in Chile is entangled by deeply corporeal aspects of our history. From destruction, state violence and riots to love, poetry, bodily recesses and fluids. All of this constitutes a pornographic development which has gone through multiple scenarios of creation and creativity, overcoming the implications of making pornography from the south and happily leading to a range of pleasures. Pleasures that invite us to observe beyond the Andes mountain range and to listen to the music of our bodies, and that shout from the waters, from the asphalt and from the eccentric complicities that, it’s true! A history and a porn school have been brought forth here.

This program is a historical retrospective of the enjoyable Chilean body. It is a transition from the activism of the post pornographic movement in the early 2000s to the “new Chilean porn”. An exquisite journey through the different states of production of Chilean postporn, but also an expedition through our territory, bodies, problems, poetic declamations, manifestoes and stories. All this has been staged in a tour through this Chilean body, from the tips of the toes, to the top of the head.
