Description
Instinct #19 | Film screening
Curated and hosted by Pierre Emö
This screening features six short films that explore queer cruising as both refuge and rebellion, offering spaces for expression, recognition, and belonging. The films examine how cruising navigates public and digital spaces, aligning with our exhibition, “Cruising – Intergenerational Bridges and Labyrinthine Journeys” to highlight its cultural and political significance across generations.
In summer, Berlin’s lakes become mystical places where people go to transcend their mundane lives. Jorge and Gerard set out on a ritualistic trip to one of these lakes. Enraptured by the natural surroundings and guided by their primal instincts, the bearded boys spin themselves into a whirlwind of blissful breath and tantric touch.
About Instinct
Instinct.berlin is an arts organization that presents exhibitions with queer artists twice a year at the Village, a community center for queer people in Berlin. These exhibitions, along with performances and talks, encourage interaction between artists and the local community.
The residency program allows artists to engage intensively with the vibrant atmosphere of the Village and build a bridge between their work and the wider queer community. This collaboration enriches the cultural dialog and supports the development of queer art projects, benefiting both the artists and the community at large.
