Ottawa is on the edge of a velvet revolution — sex-positive performances, fun with masturbation, blowjobs and passion for art, music, writing and the theatre. This is our community — queer artists, performers, musicians, directors, photographers and writers who push boundaries and bend the borders of desire. These artists may be on the edge of sanity or the edge of discovery, but together they are vibrant, fun and a force to be reckoned with.
