Madison Griffiths (Sweet Nothings), Emma Hardy (Periodic Bitch) and Dee Salmin (It’s Not Love, Actually) come together to interrogate the taboos shaping how we think about desire, love, and women’s bodies.
From the quiet power dynamics embedded in heteronormative relationships, to the tension between instinct and expectation, they'll unpack the charged terrain women navigate and the barriers around expressing female desire, pain and rage.
Drawing on their own experiences and those of women across Australia–and the social, cultural and medical contexts that have shaped them–this conversation unpacks the narratives we’ve inherited about love, intimacy and what women should accept.
