The highly acclaimed erotic artist and activist brings insight into the industry for adults in Genre Fandom panels.
For immediate release: May 5, 2025
(Hollywood, Ca) Performer, director and cultural critic Siouxsie Q made her very first professional appearance at Norwesccon (www.norwesccon.org) -The Premier Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention of the Pacific Northwest-Zowel fans as scientists involve insightful commentary on building world construction, fandom and queer identity in pop culture.
Known for the mixing of erotica and advocacy, Siouxsie Q could be seen on three dynamic panels, each of which presents its unique intersection of experience in the entertainment room for adults and speculative fiction fandom.
She joined fellow creatives on ‘Women World Builders’, a discussion aimed at the iconic works of Francesca Lia Block, author of the Dangerous Angels and Bat Universe Set. This panel is now available for streaming on Twitch on www.twitch.tv/videos/2435820107.
On the panel “Before it was cool to be a gay,” Siouxsie thought about her early exposure to polyamory and queer themes by Wendy Pini’s Elfquest and the gloriously loose dynamics of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Her third panel, “Fan Love in the Time of Algorithms,” investigated the collapse of fan forums and digital communities after SS-Sesta/Fosta, a law that disrupted online spaces for adult makers and marginalized fans by drawing section 230, often referred to as “Internet’s first amendment.”
“I have lived all my life at the intersection of Fandom and advocacy,” said Siouxsie Q. “I am going to speak to Norwesccon and share those stories in a space that honors both imagination and resistance a dream.”
Norwescon is one of the greatest voluntary science fiction and fantasy conventions in the US and offers space for makers, fans and thinkers to discuss literature, art, costumes, gaming and technology. Although this was the first year of Siouxsie Q as a professional guest, her presence and perspective were clear highlights.
With its depth of genre knowledge and dedication to discourse, Siouxsie Q expects in many more performances in comparable conventions in the future.
