Let's talk about consent
iAra Banchik Almasia
You've just been part of it. The conversation carries on here: walk back through the performance scene by scene, and add your own yes and no.
Yes
No
Not now
Maybe another time
What you just did
One-on-one. Intimate. Intentional.
You sat down with a stranger and negotiated consent through the placement of stickers on the body. How many? Where? Who decides? Each encounter ends with a photograph: a small archive of how we understand, negotiate and embody consent.

The performance, online
Seven scenes. Take your time.
Each scene has text, sound and a few stickers you can move. Read, listen, or just sit with it.
Scene 01 An invitation This is an invitation into a shared experience. Text · Audio · Stickers
Scene 02 Choose a place A hand, a shoulder, your back. Decide where the sticker goes. Text · Audio · Stickers
Scene 03 Tiny, silent conversations These are more than stickers. They are declarations. Text · Audio · Stickers
Scene 04 Equally powerful A space where “yes” and “no” weigh the same. Text · Audio · Stickers
Scene 05 We decide, together We talk. We feel. We write. Text · Audio · Stickers
Scene 06 The archive A photograph is taken: an archive of consent. Text · Audio · Stickers
Scene 07 Tracing its edges One moment, one conversation, one body at a time. Text · Audio · Stickers
Your turn Make your own Polaroid Make your own
Your photo. Your yes, your no.
In the room, every encounter ended with a photograph. Here you can make your own: upload a photo, place your stickers, write on it, then save it or share it.

How other people hold it
iAra keeps talking after the show. These are conversations with people about what consent means in their own body and their own life.
