Magic Smut Box

CKUT’s Audio Smut Radio Collective presented a sound art installation for Montreal’s Perverscité Festival this past August.

They merged queer sex stories, both true and fictional, poems and spoken word pieces, recorded in audio form, or performed live. The results reflect surprising facets of being queer, being trans, memorable moments and empowerment.

Check out more from Audio Smut here.

Here’s a description of the event:

As part of Pervers/cite CKUT’s Audio Smut Collective is presenting the Magic Smut Box, a dark room where you will be invited to immerse yourself in pure audio sensuality to hear audio pieces based on queer sexual experience and fantasies at Toutski Cafe: 2361 Rue Ontario Est Montreal on Sunday August 18th from 4pm to 7pm.

We invite you to sit in the Magic Smut box, listen to audio prepared by the Audio Smut collective, and read your own smut and share sexual experiences and fantasies during the live during the event. Live readings will take place randomly between 4pm and 7pm. Stories can be as real or as fictional you want them to be! Sharing experiences and fantasies are both welcome. So bring along a little sexy story to share.
