Sexual Bricolage
Sexual Bricolage
”Conceived based on personal experiences with sexual harassment at sex shops in Barcelona, Peirano and Kruglanski began Sex Bricolage in 2004. For the following six and half years, Bricolage Sexual traveled to various localities in Spain and Northern Europe, as well as Israel and Italy. In Guatemala, they worked with women nurses on a project in public sexual education (personal communication with Peirano)....Conceived as a 'sexual DIY experience,' Peirano's and Kruglanski's workshops typically begin with visits to local sex shops followed by communal discussions about issues concerning sexuality,” making electronic sex toys, and distributing 'how-to' flyers. “Sexual Bricolage points to the gendered implications of sex technologies as consumer products that often imply a male consumer. Similarly, the project explores the gendering of domestic technologies, even if the consumer is assumed to be a woman.”
