About this event
Sex, one of the most embarrassed thing to speak out on this ancient and old-fashioned land. However, there are many studies and practices going on this modern city, Shanghai: Action arts, like “Occupy Men’s Room”; Drama, like “The Vagina Monologues”; Get-togethers, like “Nvshu Space”; Festivals, like “ShanghaiPRIDE”. Even though the clichés on “Don’t talk about sex” still rule those young minds in the Songjiang University Town. Why don’t we talk about sex? There are many things we should know but know little. As 17th of May is the International Day Against Homophobia, we hold this event on 16th of May, paying our respects to those who fight for equal rights.
