The Post Porn Print Index is part of a research into the movement of Post-Pornography. Instead of censoring sexual imagery, pro-sex feminists stated that it could be reclaimed and reimagined — forming a political stance on the body, sex(uality), gender and image, resisting normative representations. It aims for another way of producing pleasure through looking, creating a counteraction to mainstream internet-porn culture.
This index functions as a navigational tool. A guide through a personal compilation of archival material, offering a starting point to explore and dive deeper into a variety of printed matter. At its core, this index stems from an urge to list, categorize, collect: an almost bureaucratic desire to order the world, but towards valuing forgotten material. Rather than striving for objective completeness, the index materializes a feminist approach to knowledge, giving a situated perspective on post-porn print culture. It becomes a tool for amplifying voices that have historically been excluded.
Existing as a digital structure as well as a printed annex for the first official issue of Cuntish Magazine — it activates the material again through print, returning to the very medium it connects. Before digital networks, printed matter was as a vital infrastructure for excluded communities.
