Tina Horn is an Educatrix
Tina got her start in community-based education in 2005 by skill sharing with her fellow Oakland pro-dommes. Since then, she’s lectured on writingcraft at universities, facilitatedpanels on sex work politics at artgalleries, and taught BDSM workshops at feminist shops. From the Kurt Vonnegut Museum to the School for Poetic Computation, to Toronto’s Good For Her sex toy store to the Lesbian Sex Mafia at the LGBTQ Center in Manhattan, to California College of the Art and beyond, Tina has facilitated space for hundreds of grown-ups to deepen their knowledge, ethics, and style. She takes pride in producing and emceeing live events, and working in collaboration with grassroots community organizers. Known for her theatrical sensibility and the welcoming wit she brings to the profane, Tina has brought a literary sensibility to her 21st century sex culture pedagogy. Her work explores the narrative shapes of perverted experiences and the pornographic potential of pop culture.
