Nil

Nil is a San Francisco based trans, indigiqueer witch, rope bender, and curator of spiritual-sexual synchrony. Nil first found love in the natural fibers of a well-spun rope while at Girl Scout camp, and they’ve been tying ever since. Nil relishes all ends of the rope as a rigger, self-suspender, and artistic masochistic. Interweaving the sacred into practice and play, Nil is a proud purveyor of all things creepy and curious. Nil regards kink as the ultimate artistic catharsis and uses their craft to banish gender, fracture binaries, and conjure queerness to challenge the norm. They are intrigued by the darkness behind why we play and exploring how sexual subversion creates avenues for self expression. Their classes take on the quality of the “why” behind what we do with a penchant for digging deep into our intimate experiences with kink, strengthening community, and creating unapologetic space to break rules and get weird. Nil can be found presenting and performing around the Bay Area, at events and conferences across the country and online.
