A book launch for "Crossings – Creative Ecologies of Cruising" by João Florêncio and Liz Rosenfeld will be held at Page 28 in Malmö on 16 May at 18:00. The book will be released on 15 April, and the event will include readings from the book and discussions.
About the book
Crossings – Creative Ecologies of Cruising is a thought-provoking exploration of queer sex cultures, examining cruising as both a bodily practice and a way of knowing. Blending scholarship with avant-garde experimentation, the book emerges as a hybrid of critical manifesto and erotic memoir. Through a creative dialogue between a queer artist and a queer academic, it invites readers to inhabit the liminal spaces of desire, intimacy, and world-making.

His research examines the interplay between the body, media technologies, and sex in contemporary culture.
