A Global Live Event: Abuse in Polyamory
|
in this Global Live Event hosted by Poly Pages on the topic of Abuse in Polyamory, Join our host Claire Travers as she sits down with Alicia, Eve and Sydney for this global live one-off event.
Abuse can happen in any relationship, whether you have one partner, two partners, or more. A polyamorous relationship is not any more or less likely to be abusive than a monogamous one, however having multiple partners may create unique situations that abusive people may exploit. Our social understandings of abuse assume a mono-normative relationship, leading to poor understandings and awareness of the ways abuse may present in a non-monogamous dynamics. |

Quotes: "This is an intriguing film about our interpersonal relationships in all its forms. It is told in a bewildering mix of animation styles that absolutely delights the eyes." -Steve Kopian (Unseen Films) "Does anyone get tired of hearing other people’s sexual experiences, dating philosophies and intimate journeys? Right. Like I said, irresistible." -Michael Fox (KQED Arts & Culture) |
Claire writes: "I had a real experience watching this. It is a truly beautiful interweaving of different animation styles and it evoked a lot of emotion in me. It is really unique to see a relationship documentary that actively confronts mono-normativey with such candor and honesty. The truth is - there are other ways to do relationships, there are many ways to love. And I think this film captures that." |
