Amplifying Diverse Voices: Kink Down South Weekend is committed to amplifying diverse voices within the kink community. We strongly encourage applications from performers who are transgender, BIPOC, disabled, and from other marginalized backgrounds, as these perspectives are often underrepresented in kink education.
If you have any specific accessibility needs or accommodations to help make performing more accessible for you, please let us know—we are happy to support you however we can.
