Sex Down South (SDS) exists to transform the way people experience, discuss, and educate around sexuality—particularly centering the voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, as well as LGBTQIA+ communities. Rooted in art, education, radical love, healing justice, and liberation, SDS is a sex-positive conference and cultural event that creates safer spaces for people to explore identity, intimacy, pleasure, and embodiment.

 

Through immersive workshops, artistic installations, performances, film screenings, and healing spaces, SDS blends education with creative expression, offering a holistic approach to learning and community building. We believe that art is education, and our mission is to empower individuals to reconnect with themselves and each other through knowledge, storytelling, ritual, and joy.
