Experiential artist Victor Wilde cut his teeth and first shared with the world his work in experimental video and public performance art. Victor’s interactive fashion performances and installations have appeared at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Somos Gallery  (Berlin), Tokyo Fashion Week, the Walt Disney Concert Hall (LA), LA Weekly’s Artopia, and the OC Center for Contemporary Art.

It is from his art that The Bohemian Society label was borne in Downtown Los Angeles in 2003, where Victor continues to live and work.

The Bohemian Society collection is meant to excite and surprise. Each item of clothing, while worn, should inspire the same feelings you get from seeing powerful art. It strives to be thought-provoking and emotional and bigger than itself, reflective of something both hidden and essential about the world; enduring, but of its time.

Kanso, a professional Shibari & Kinbaku Rope Artist, #Instructor, Performer & Sex Positive Educator . He has studied the human anatomy w• a background in TCM in Acupuncture acquired in China in the mid 2000's. Kanso has long been fascinated with Simplicity of Aesthetics: Art, Culture, Food & Somatic Pleasurable Experiences . After visiting an underground BDSM club in Tokyo, where performances included the ancient Japanese art form of Shibari. He came back to the Bay Area & began a career as Rope Artist. (Shibari simply means "To Tie." Kinbaku means "To Bind.") He is a world traveler with clients that span the globe. He’s performed at San Francisco Folsom Street Fair & Lightning in a Bottle Festival just to name a couple... He has a school & a wide variety of clientele w/ private clients & public demos.  Needless to say in this episode we get down and dirty, & extremely inappropriate. It's not for Gratuitous reasons even if we have a laugh here & there. Our conversation is candid & maybe not for everyone but it’s authentic, & a lesson in the #counterculture of #kink & bdsm. So put away that toxic shame surrounding sex & get cozy w/ the one you’re quarantined with, even if that means a night of self lovin’ aka #masturbation.  When Kanso speaks, you can feel the amount of respect he has for his work, his emotional intelligence & how he holds space for those that seek to release #trauma by these alternative methods. He is refreshingly honest about subjects that most people find #taboo . Listen w• an open heart, mind & educate yourself on "the kink" counterculture & how it can be used as an alternative healing therapy . Loosen up with a glass of wine, because it's sexy time! 

Kanso is founder & head Instructor at the Rope Circle. He was first introduced to the world of Japanese rope bondage (Shibari) while visiting Japan 2006 and has spent the many years refining his rope practice and skills. In 2010 he co-created Bondage Erotique with the intent of introducing a more sensual and intimate approach to rope bondage. He has taught rope intensives in NYC, L.A. Atlanta, Dallas, Portland, San Antonio, D.C, etc, and has performed extensively at corporate events, art shows & music festivals across the U.S. He was a regular rope instructor at the SF Armory/Kink.com for four years until it closed its doors in 2018 and taught the year-long Shibari curriculum taking students from beginner classes through to advanced rope suspension training.He continues to offer several on-going monthly classes and events in his hometown of San Francisco. He is also the co-founder of BARE (the Bay Area Rope Exchange), which hosts rope parties and puts on highly popular bondage performances at the Folsom Street Fair annually. In 2017, Kanso started the Kiss of Rope with the intention of bringing the art of Japanese rope more into the mainstream, through performance art and private instruction. The aim is to raise awareness of Shibari as a transformational practice that helps build deeper intimacy, connection and sensuality between partners.

Kinbakutoday.com interview with Kanso

Safyra is a clairvoyant hypnotherapist with a background in Tao Yoga, NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Qigong, Tantrica and Dance. She is the definition of a mystic and healer in my opinion, and has trained, taught and continues to work internationally with clients in Bali, Thailand, The Middle East, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, New York, San Francisco and online and is based in Los Angeles. She uses the art of dance to activate sacred femininity expressing the power of the body. Safyra is a friend, someone who I admire greatly and have worked with regularly in hypnosis to heal my own trauma, karmic connections, contracts and pre-conditioned behaviors. I have taken classes and workshops with her and have witnessed her innate authenticity in holding her own power while helping others gain theirs. We discuss the origins of the ancient practices of qigong, taoism, yoga, the gut brain, the sacred feminine, bellydancing and much more.

In this episode of Sex, Magick and Dessert I interview Dr. Cara Quant. Dr Quant is an internal medicine physician and founder of Viva La Vulva, an organization that educates on female sexual health and wellness and multimedia visual arts. 

We discuss the benefits of sexual pleasure and creativity, pussy oracle "vulva readings," suggested lubricants, a healthy pelvic floor and female ejaculation aka squirting. 

"The Art World & The Medical World Together Can Do More Than Seperately." - Dr. Cara Quant

Viva La Vulva’s mission is to break down the barriers that stop both men and women from talking and learning about female sexual health in a way that transcends race, culture, age and geography. A safe engaging platform through art and medical expertise to normalize the concept of female sexual health. A driving force of change in the way female sexual health is perceived. Viva La Vulva is a movement created and organized by Internal Medicine physician, Dr. Cara Quant who noticed how men’s sexual issues are regularly discussed in the medical community, but women’s sexual health issues are often overlooked.  She understands that the language of art can be used for education and as a means of healing. She brought together a diverse team of people with a shared vision to bring the idea of Viva La Vulva into reality.

“So many things can affect a woman’s sexual health throughout her life such as sexual abuse, pregnancy, stress, menopause, cultural ideals and often times the pain or lack of desire that happens as a result of these life events that are not addressed. Education is the key to overcoming.”  says Dr. Quant.
