Polly Barton: Porn
The Wheeler Centre
Let’s talk about porn. Join writer and literary translator Polly Barton as she interrogates the absence of discussion around this ubiquitous topic, and its influence on our daily lives. In Porn: An Oral History, British writer and literary translator Polly Barton investigates how we talk about porn. Via a series of candid, intimate interviews, Barton surveys habits, attitudes and hang-ups; considers the ethics and aesthetics of porn; and explores shifting notions of fantasies, fetish and desire. Joining journalist and author Jenny Valentish in conversation at the Wheeler Centre, Barton will take audiences through her year of intimate interviews for a thought-provoking and joyfully frank exploration of porn, sexuality and enduring taboos. This event will discuss mature themes and is recommended for audiences 18+
