Following last year's resounding success, which drew over 4,500 enthusiasts, AEFEST is back to set the Colombian capital on fire with five days filled with desire and boundless passion. From August 16th to 20th, various locations across the city, including Teatro El Ensueño and the Bogotá Planetarium, will vibrate with the most provocative and innovative activities.

Mauricio Galeano, General Director of the District Institute of Arts of Bogotá (Idartes), revealed the festival's secret to success: "AEFEST keeps growing, attracting more and more interested people. We even had some workshops that went on sale and sold out on the first day." Canela Bayona and Amaranta Hank participated in the presentation.

In this edition, the festival will shift its focus to explore the "technology of eroticism." "We will have very interesting dynamics about how information technologies have been changing their relationship with the body," anticipates Galeano. Prepare yourself for a world of exciting possibilities that will leave you craving for more!

AEFEST is a space of freedom and expression where discrimination has no place. Here, eroticism and sensuality are celebrated in all their fullness. Visitors will be enthralled by the international exhibition of Shibari, a captivating experience that uses ropes to immobilize and awaken hidden emotions.

But that's not all. Workshops on female domination initiation and a practical guide to oral sex promise to raise the temperature in the ambiance. Do you want to learn and enjoy eroticism from a different perspective? This is your chance!

AEFEST also brings prominent figures in the erotic realm to give talks on relevant topics. Visual artist Megumi Cardona, known for creating provocative photographic projects, will explore sexuality from an artistic and cultural standpoint. Additionally, Argentine activist and unionist Georgina Orellana will hold talks on the rights of sex workers, an essential and crucial topic in today's world.

We cannot fail to mention the emblematic Amaranta Hank, former adult film actress and fervent feminist. Hank praised the support that institutions have provided to an event that challenges censorship and puts sexuality at the forefront. "We want to take sexuality out of what we all already know and bring it to other areas," expressed Hank, whose presence will undoubtedly be a great attraction for attendees.

Get ready to immerse yourself in a wave of sensuality, uninhibited exploration, and learning at AEFEST 2023 in Bogotá. A festival that aims to leave its mark on the city and continue pushing boundaries in future editions.

From August 16th to 20th, AEFEST will transform Bogotá into a boiling pot of pleasure and knowledge, where sensuality blends with technology.
