概要

 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

    S5E2 S.W.E.A.T. with Ramzi Fawaz
    2026/02/10
    My conversation this month is with queer and feminist cultural historian, educator, podcaster, and public speaker Ramzi Fawaz. https://www.ramzifawaz.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nerdfromthefuture/ Ramzi Fawaz is a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and host of the podcast "Nerd from the Future". He is the author of two books, including The New Mutants: Superheroes and the Radical Imagination of American Comics (2016) and Queer Forms (2022), both published by NYU Press. The New Mutants received the 2017 ASAP Book Prize from the Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present. Fawaz is a contributing editor to Film Quarterly, where he writes a column titled “Imagination Unbound.” He is also a co-editor of the NYU Press book series Postmillennial Pop with Gayle Wald and Aaron Trammell. Fawaz is currently working on a new book project titled _How to Think Like a Multiverse: Psychedelic Pathways to Embracing a Diverse World._ In it, he argues for a rethinking of humanities education as a form of collective psychedelic therapy, which uses literature, art, and media, rather than psychoactive medicines, to induce positive, long-term transformations in students’ mental wellbeing. As part of this project, He recently edited a special issue of _South Atlantic Quarterly_ on the topic of “Psychedelic Imaginaries,” which was published in April 2025. We talk about teaching as an act of love, psychedelics as tools for loosening rigid thought, and how imagination can help us live with difference instead of fearing it. Ramzi describes entering the classroom as a “radiant light,” grounded, joyful, and fully present with students. At the heart of his pedagogy is **attention as care**: treating students as people worth listening to, challenging them without shaming, and creating a "cone of trust" where risk, disagreement, and mistakes are part of learning. Ramzi shares insights from his upcoming book, **How to Think Like a Multiverse: Psychedelic Pathways to Embracing a Diverse World**, arguing that both art and psychedelic experience can soften hardened thinking and help us approach human difference with curiosity rather than fear. Together we ask: How do we practice being with people we don’t agree with? How do we act when theory fails us? How do we cultivate imagination that changes the world rather than escapes it? We mention: Hannah Arendt (enlarged mentality) Linda Zerilli (_Feminism and the Abyss of Freedom_) Judith Butler (performativity and grieveability) Lauren Berlant (cruel optimism) The movie Everything Everywhere All At Once_ The series Heated Rivalry

    S5E1 S.W.E.A.T. with Sky Deep
    2026/01/14
    My conversation this month is with producer, musician, activist and creative technologist Sky Deep. Sky Deep is a Berlin-based live performer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer whose work fuses raw emotion, social consciousness, and technical mastery. Born in Los Angeles and shaped by the underground scenes of New York and Berlin, she merges electronic music, live instrumentation, and performance art into electrifying, genre-defying shows. A driving force in queer and POC visibility within electronic music, Sky founded Reclaim the Beats Festival and leads her label Reveller Records as a platform for community-driven experimentation. As MIDI-Music Director and core multi-instrumentalist for Peaches’ OOPS Tour (2020), she helped sculpt the tour’s radical live sound architecture — extending her artistry from club stages to global arenas. Her sonic imagination also extends into film, television, and theater: she created sound design for Shu Lea Cheang’s feature UKI, served as music supervisor for Loving Her (ZDFneo), and designs sound for productions at Ballhaus Naunynstrasse and other major German theaters. Every project carries her signature spirit — joyful, unapologetic, and deeply human. https://www.skydeepofficial.com/ cover photo by Alexa Vachon

    S4E12 S.W.E.A.T. with Isaiah Lopaz
    2025/12/09
    My guest this month is transdisciplinary artist Isaiah Lopaz, whose work revolves around collage, photography, text, and performance. Born in occupied Tongvaland to a working class African American family, Lopaz is a descendent of Igbo / West African / Geechee / African American / First Nations peoples. His work frequently focuses on tracing where histories often framed as disparate and distinct, overlap and converge. The past, sacred stories and practices, genealogy, and personal mythologies are merged in Lopaz’ practice to underscore intersections of time and space. Artistic research that engages African, Creole, and First Nations epistemologies, cosmologies, and methodologies are essential to his work. Lopaz’ research has been supported through stipends, fellowships, scholarships, and residencies from institutions including: The Berlin Senat for Culture and Europe, the documenta Institut, Stiftung Kunstfonds, Theater Rotterdam, the University of Bayreuth, Flutgraben, Ebenböck Haus, and Zucker Erben. Lopaz has exhibted and performed at events and institutions including the 10th Berlin Biennale, the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, the Neues Museum, Kunstverein Hamburg, The HAU, Ballhaus Naunynstrasse, Beursschouwburg, and the 7th Afroeuropean Biennale. His work has been featured in the New York Times, CNN, Huffington Post, Der Speigel, and ZDF. In the spring of 2024, Lopaz founded Black Visual Grammar, a mobile archive which engages Black perspectives on an array of themes and subjects through collage workshops which coincide with public exhibitions. https://www.isaiahlopaz.com/about Featured Artwork: "The Last Book My Father Read".

Kelly Grada Kilomba Wangechi Mutu Carrie Mae Weems Ekow Eshun 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.

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.
