About this Event
make meaning, not sense.
About the Exhibition — Pleasure Portal
Pleasure Portal is an immersive multimedia exhibition exploring intimacy, identity, and liberation through a queer lens. Blending film, sound, performance, and interactive digital experiences, the exhibition invites guests to step across thresholds — from the physical to the emotional, the sensual to the spiritual.
Set along a canal on the edge of Amsterdam’s historic Red Light District, the exhibition reimagines an iconic site of spectacle and desire into one of reflection, intimacy, and shared witnessing. Guests move through immersive environments that feel part-sanctuary, part-laboratory, part-ceremony — each room inviting the body to remember joy, safety, and aliveness.
This is not simply a gallery — it is an experience. A space to witness and be witnessed. To slow down, feel deeply, and explore new ways of being in relation to oneself and others.
A Portal Into the Film
Pleasure Portal also serves as a living research space for the forthcoming documentary project from Queer Media Co., exploring the future of intimacy, Blackness, queerness, and the technologies of connection and care. The exhibition becomes part of the filmmaking process — a site where gestures, dialogue, and emotional truths inform the narrative and worldbuilding of the film
