PLAYING MONOGAMY | Um encontro com Simon(e) van Saarloos
Channel: Zaratan - Arte Contemporânea
Date: 2021-07-04

We are thrilled to invite you for an encounter with the writer and philosopher Simon(e) van Saarloos, who will be talking about their book Playing Monogamy. The conversation will be mediated by Pê Feijó, a Lisbon-based writer, scholar, and militant.
Through a contemporary rereading of the cult of monogamy, van Saarloos playfully queers the way in which the structure of monogamy is upheld through social convention within Western contexts. Playing Monogamy proposes an expanded and polyamorous engagement with intimacy and sexuality as a possible alternative.
The book will be available for consultation and for purchase and the participation of the public in the discussion is encouraged. The talk will be held in English and the entrance is free.
The presence of Simon(e) van Saarloos in Lisbon is made possible by the Dutch Foundation for Literature.
