このコンテンツについて

 S.W.E.A.T. >>sex/uality. work. extraction. art. theatr/ics.<< is a series of conversations about performance and performativity of the sexual and sexualized body at work—where work is broadly defined as the labour of survival, the labour of care, creativity, and capital-A-Art. How exactly do we define our work and how does that work entangle and circumscribe our sexual identities, our creative lives and the ways in which we provide care? How do we perform both tasks and identities within the framework of that which we consider work? My hope is that these conversations are a means to speak between intersectionalities by anchoring through our always already sexualized bodies, our working bodies, our artistic bodies and our performative bodies. photos by Onsoh Studios and Claudia Brijbag please support S.W.E.A.T. on my patreon page https://www.patreon.com/madkate S.W.E.A.T. hostex Mad Kate is a Berlin-based electronic artist, vocalist, and producer who fuses sound, performance, and activism into a singular, immersive experience. Rooted in a background of writing and queer feminist, sex-positive performance art, Mad Kate weaves together interviews, field recordings, and vocal manipulations with raw, pulsating synthesizers to explore the porous borders between bodies, identities, and geographies. With a sonic language shaped by storytelling and embodied experience, Mad Kate’s compositions interrogate the personal as a lens for understanding collective realities—how power structures inscribe themselves onto intimacy, how movement across borders reshapes identity, and how world-building through imagination disrupts existing narratives. Whether through hypnotic, shape-shifting club compositions or experimental soundscapes, their work pulses with a deep commitment to sonic activism, carving out space for new forms of relationality and resistance. Mad Kate’s performances are immersive and confrontational, collapsing the boundary between artist and audience, body and machine. Their sonic explorations have been featured in venues and festivals across Europe, where they continue to push the boundaries of electronic music as a site of both political critique and radical pleasure.All rights reserved アート

    S4E10 S.W.E.A.T. SPAT back at ya! BLEACH interviews Mad Kate
    2025/10/14
    In this month's "Spat Back At Ya" positionality conversation, Berlin legend Bleach has SPAT the questions back at host Mad Kate. Every couple of years, S.W.E.A.T. host Mad Kate likes to do a "positionality check-in" about where they are coming from and where they are at in their on-going research about the body in LABOUR. In this very special episode, in collaboration with BLEACH for her new Berlin based zine SPAT Mag!, Berlin drag artist, DJ and punk icon BLEACH has taken on the job of being the interviewer and Mad Kate is the interviewee. Mad Kate (they/them) is an electronic producer, dancer, performer, sxwkr and writer who began working the Berlin performance and club scene in 2004 after completing a Bachelor of Honors in Peace and Conflict Studies with an emphasis on Gender and Sustainability from UC Berkeley, and a Master of Fine Arts in Writing and Consciousness at New College in California. Thinking through an expansive definition of “queer(ing) the body” as a political process unfolding across time and space, Mad Kate integrates their political activism into performance, critiquing consumer capitalism, border regimes, migration policy, and the military-prison-industrial complex. They situate the queer body in a wide range of activist and performative contexts—from clubs, to darkrooms to theaters, from street protests and migrant shelters to protest camps—foregrounding the extractive logics of capitalism and the violent entanglements of militarism, consumerism, and border control. Their explorations of borders between/within bodies, audibility, consent, proximity, and touch as political practice have brought them to theaters, communes, technomansions, prisons, dungeons, squats and galleries around the world. As a sound designer they are committed to the use of field recording and context-specific development of works that resist extractivist artistic practices. At the heart of all of their performative projects is the written word—whether their electronic project HYENAZ, their postpunk project Mad Kate the Tide or their solo performance work—they write first in essay form and then extract poems and lyrics from those longer written forms. BLEACH is ... Essex raised, Berlin Based Drag performer is a central figure in the German capital's queer underground, creating parties, shows & festivals. Starting out in a burlesque bar in Stockholm she entertains with a fiery mix of punking, stripping & speeching. A regular host of Berlin club nights, drag shows with a loud point of view. When DJing she plays a wide range of music to keep dancers on their toes, acidy house with sparks of rock n roll punk tunes.

  • S4E9 S.W.E.A.T. with Sārāh Mārtinus

    S4E9 S.W.E.A.T. with Sārāh Mārtinus
    2025/09/10
    This month's conversation is with artist and healer Sārāh Mārtinus. Sārāh Mārtinus (she/they) is a research-informed artist and ancestral lineage healer. Her work focuses on relational kinship & contradiction (non dual, ritual) practice, decentralizing, deconditioning, and decolonizing through process-led co-emergence and intrapsychic ecologies. She writes, paints, and creates sound through centralising darkness, transformation, and intersectional shadow integrations, her multi-media practice operating as a form of processual meaning-making - locating wound within cultures of disappearances. As descendant of both migrating Sri Lankan diaspora and Irish settling colonies, Sarah came into being on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri People of Woiwurrung language group, in Kulin Nation; the Traditional Custodians of Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Her lineages weave through South Asia & Europe, outwards/inwards, reconciling in rivers of reparation, remembrance Her work is currently published through 'unbecomings', Zilberman Gallery, Berlin (October, 2025), curated by Misal Adnan Yildiz after their constellating of performance dialogues ‘When one of us remembers who we really are, all of us remember’ at Pickle Bar, Berlin (June, 2025). Sārāh offers one on one sessions and community ceremony, with ritual and witness counsel for power rebalance. www.sarahmartinus.com @sarahmartinus We all sweat as we provide care, as we labour, as we perform our work, as we fuck, as we survive and as we sacrifice one choice for the other. How exactly do we define our work and how does that work entangle and circumscribe our sexual identities, our racialized bodies, our creative lives and the ways in which we provide care? How do we perform both tasks and identities within the framework of that which we consider work? These conversations are a means to speak between intersectionalities by anchoring through our (always, already, and ever pervasive) sexualized and racialized bodies, our working bodies, our artistic bodies and our performative bodies. I hope that they contribute to dialogues which normalize sex work as work, and all work as deserving of respect, healthy conditions, and a living wage.

    This month's conversation is with erotic performer and activist Chiqui Love. Chiqui Love is a burlesque and striptease artist and storyteller with over 22 years of experience. A power femme and co-founding member of two strippers’ collectives—East London Strippers Collective and Berlin Strippers Collective—she works to de-stigmatize sex work and open a dialogue around more ethical ways of providing and consuming erotic entertainment. Her approach centers on empowering workers and welcoming every gender and body shape. She is a passionate advocate for fair working conditions and for putting women at the forefront of any conversation involving bodily autonomy, pleasure, and freedom. Chiqui Love’s mission is to raise awareness—especially among women—encouraging them to enjoy their bodies unashamedly and embrace their inner bitch-ass goddess.
