Instigate NYC is an actively anti-racist, anti-classist, anti-oppression group. We actively seek presenters and participants that are marginalized in the (mostly) hetero-normative, white, appropriative, economically privileged BDSM communities. We seek trans and gender non conforming people to teach. We seek people of color to teach. We seek people of varying abilities to teach. (And so on.) We believe that the voices that are rarely heard in mainstream spaces ought to be. All of our events are sliding scale. This is because of our commitment to include people regardless of economic privilege. Instigate is created and led by queer, trans, PoC perverts. We believe that our experiences in those identities inform our acknowledgement of power dynamics and the ways that we play with those dynamics.
