Watch: Bound — A Film On Liberation Through Rope Bondage by Biz Young

“What keeps me coming back is an otherworldly craving for the most extreme feelings that your body, your soul, your heart can muster.” Sakina Sins uses shibari (or rope bondage) as a way to process pain and desire, and as a vessel to hold all the complicated feelings of being alive. As a queer, disabled, transmasc person born to immigrant parents — his body was often a site of pain and restriction, but getting to choose the pain he endures is what frees him.

Presented by Womanly Magazine and in collaboration with filmmaker Biz Young (she/they). Featuring Sakina Sins (he/they).
