Welkom voor de lancering van het nieuwste nummer van nY, een Vlaams tijdschrift voor literatuur, kritiek en entertainment. 'Sex Negativity', de titel en het thema van dit nummer, stelt dat "we als subjecten niet compleet, soeverein of stabiel zijn. Seks onthult het fundamentele gemis in onszelf, zonder het op te lossen." Het nummer zal worden gepresenteerd door nY-redacteuren Persis Bekkering en Tessel Veneboer, samen met voordrachten van dichters Alara Adilow en Stefa Govaart.
