Sex & Art

Siri Berlin

Welcome lovely humans, to my podcast „Sex and Art“. I am an artist and sex therapist from Berlin, living in Linköping, Sweden. In this podcast I combine my passion for art and sex with my passion for very interesting people. Throughout my life, I met so many wise, crazy, lovely, exciting, and interesting people and I had tons of inspiring conversations. And I want to bring these conversations to you. I’ll talk with artists, dancers, comedians, musicians, programmers, managers, writers, bodyworkers as well as tantrics, healers, priests, or just someone I deeply fell in love with. In every episode, you'll be allowed a peek into their world and we find out how they connect to art and sex. For me these two notions - art and sex - describe life. Some episodes you will find to be more about sex, some will be more about art, and recently therapy plays a big role, too. If you want to support this podcast please share, like and subscribe.

    Naked revolution. The hard work of inspiration

    In this episode, I talk with two amazing art models I've already had the honor of drawing in online sessions: Claudia Avila and Vanessa Montoya.  In August 2026, they created a challenge for art models called "Movi miento de modelos" (Art model movement). The intention of this project is to remember their foremothers, models who came before them, and reflect on the history of art models and their valuable contribution to the art world. Let's be honest: It's hard work to inspire. 29 models were invited to reflect each on one model of the past and create their own artistic video-based piece of art. These videos were posted on social media, and the artistic community around these two incredible humans was invited to sketch and paint from these incredible pieces of inspiration. (You can see the work done here: Instagram @movimientodemodelos  .) The final act of the project was a spectacular life drawing marathon where all models participating posed for 15 minutes. (The cover art of this podcast is from the marathon, by the way; @emilymetalskin representing Luisa Casati.) Have a listen to what these fabulous artists and models have to say. About Claudia Avila: Claudia (she/her) from Buenos Aires, Argentina, is an art and fashion model, a content creator, and visual artist. Claudia's work as a model and activist is all about body diversity and inclusivity.  About Vanessa Montoya Vanessa (she/her), from Mexico City, is a historian, art model, and cultural manager. She is the founder of "La Postura" (magazine) and a member of the Art Models in Resistance Movement, a collective dedicated to the dignification and recognition of the work of art models. If you want to get in contact with them or just spy a little on their work and leave some likes and encouraging words, you can find them here:  Claudia on Instagram: @claudia_fineartmeodel Vanessa on Instagram: @vanessamontoya_modelo Homepage: https://revistalapostura.com/ We had the pleasure of being translated by the artist and language geek Rebeca Chacon (Mexico City).

    Time to shine. Unleash your inner God'dess

    I am full of joy presenting you my most recent recorded podcast episode with Liliana Velásquez (she/her), an exciting and very much alive human being I met in Berlin’s live drawing, comedy, and burlesque scene.  There are so many words which describe Liliana and all she does and creates in her life. Some of them are : a Colombian woman, a New York rebel, a Miami brat, a Goddess, a Fetishist, a Switch Witch, a Dominatrix, an Actress, a Dominanny, a Comedian, a Doula... In recent years she quit compartmentalizing aspects of herself, feeling at the age of 47 the abundance of creative outlets, multiple interests, and a plentitude of experiences.  All aspects of her work are connected through a sense of activism to better the situation for people assigned female at birth as well as queer and multicultured people.  One of her babies is the comedy show „Time to shine“ she runs with Terry Saunders, which opens a (comedy) stage to normalize kink and sex work. If you want to work with Liliana you can contact her through her homepage: www.ladios.me Instagram: @godess_ladios @ladios_v https://www.timetoshinekink.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2024 Produced by: Siri Berlin, Artist & Sex Therapist Instagram: @siriberlin Art: www.siriberlin.de Sex Therapy: www.thehappysexologist All of me: www.sirisundin.com Thanks, dear listeners, for spending time with us.

    Online life drawing. Creative community with passion and purpose.

    For this episode, I met with the incredible life drawing hosts from the Berlin-based sessions called "Sketcherei" - Liana Gilman and Alexandra Rudneva. Their (now online) events are always fun and diverse and leave a lot of space for the self-expression of the model - and of the sketching artists. The goal of Sketcherei is to connect artists - sketchers and performers - around the globe. The focus of every session is catching the motion and dynamic of the human body, but Sketcherei always has performance at the heart of everything. Coming from a Russian art background hostile to non-academic artists, Alexandra and Liana were keen to create a community for artists of all kinds to enjoy the drawing process. If you like to get a glimpse of how much thinking and creation can be behind an online life drawing session - or if you just would like to know what two passionate Russian women are doing in Berlin - this episode is for you. Cheers!
