FOCUS: GIOCATTOLI PER ADULTЗ

Visual conscious stimulation.
A special program curated by Carlo Migotto

Sex Toys! Adult toys in all forms, colours, uses but also meanings, representations, approaches, cultural contexts, issues, taboos and stigmatisation. Toys for adults, for future adults, for couples, singles, performers, sex workers, disseminators, artists. Toys to be used for pleasure, interaction, exploration, choice, necessity, fear or imposition.
The “adult toys” in their enormous variety, as a narrative element, as a design object, as a commodity category, as a tool for sex education, for experimentation – all in different cultural and geographical contexts.

Let us take you on an incomplete, non-exhaustive journey, not representative of a contemporary film genre or strand. No summary premises or conclusions.
Toys for Adults is a seductive collection of stimuli that can generate reflection, debate, thought and action.
