Humor in Erotic Art
First Thursday Art Discussion
Thu, Jun 3, 2021 from 7pm - 8pm (Pacific)
June's topic: Humor in Erotic Art
If you add all the different kinds of humor to all the different kinds of sexuality, you have an almost infinite number of combinations. Humor can become a very tricky thing when the subjects are from marginalized communities. Who is creating the art, social contexts, and who is viewing the art can all drastically change the imapct of the humor. In this discussion, we will talk about using humor to convey meaning and when it works or it doesn't work in an erotic context.
The Pan Eros Foundation is pleased to create space for people to meet, talk, and share conversation and ideas. Each month, Pan Eros will host a discussion at Gallery Erato with a different topic to encourage the sharing of ideas and to create and expand communities. Pan Eros means “all love” and we support participants in cultivating and celebrating their sexuality. To support this mission, our monthly discussion topics will range among the educational and artistic realms.
Our goal in hosting these meetings is to grow a community that has rich conversations about sexuality. By fostering open discussions, we hope to end the stigma around sex and sexuality so that people may live more authentically and happily.
All sexes, genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, relationship orientations, and religions are welcome and celebrated. Kindness and a willingness to respect another point of view are expected.
