Kinky Confessions
Confessions can be relieving, empowering, and cathartic, even creating a communal moment. Step aside from the constraints and expectations of modern society and join Dante Woods on a path of fetish where sharing your darkest secrets can be safe.
Step into a discreet confessional and speak with Dante, kink educator and community organizer, about fantasies, shame, questions, dynamics, safety, or how to begin. A private, one-on-one conversation for desires, doubts, and everything you never said out loud.Confession is more than disclosure—it’s relief, clarity, and agency. Many of us carry unspoken desire or uncertainty. Having a confidential space with an experienced guide can be cathartic, practical, and empowering.
Whether you're a solo explorer or arriving with your partner, uncover the fascinating secrets of kink in a welcoming and open space. We're passionate about sparking curiosity and inspiring connection within a like-minded and open-hearted community.

- A safe space to express your desires and wishes

Unveiling the Open City Monastery
Kinky Confessions is part of Open City Monastery, Mediamatic’s ongoing program for reflective, sensory, and communal practices. We create spaces where slower rhythms, honest conversation, and experimental learning can happen—without stigma, and with care.
What if a space existed to respond to human needs, not with forced positivity, but with the quiet acceptance of what is? A place where rest is a ritual, where food and shelter are offered freely, and where the rhythm of life slows to a more human, or perhaps a more-than-human pace.
Our monastery is open. Open to all—human and more-than-human. Open to failure, as a vital step in our collective experimentation and learning. Open in access, with free exhibitions, and open in mind, welcoming diverse perspectives, especially in a time of censorship and close-mindedness.
Information
- When: Friday 10 October, 20:30–22:00
- Where: Mediamatic, Plant Room Toilet— private confessional booth area
