Art of Restraint

RELEASE YOUR INHIBITIONS AND SURRENDER TO A NIGHT OF ALCHEMY FILM FOUNDATION’S ‘ART OF RESTRAINT’

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 7TH 2026– On March 7th Alchemy Film Foundation will open at 7 PM.

Step inside and experience rope cinching tight into eager flesh as bodies struggle and dance in the air in an erotic ballet of dominance and submission. Beautiful bound submissives molded into sculptural installations.

In the corner of the gallery champagne, strawberries and dark chocolate will be fed to you. Some of the most skilled rope artists and bondage experts in the country have gathered in this intimate gallery setting to meld art and bondage to intertwine submission and empowerment in a dynamic exchange between two people and an audience starving for connection.

Doors will be locked at 7:30 pm sharp, placing you in the center of the most avant-garde bondage scene.

Welcome to the Art of Restraint.

Through rope, restraint, bondage and erotic performance the performers will be delving into mythical stories of strength and resilience and manifesting them in an outward artistic expression of performance or installation utilizing the materials of rope, flesh, and other articles of choice that play with the strength inherent in mythical beings, fantastical worlds and envisioning a world worth fighting for.

Performances from Lief Bound, Icky, Madison Young, Barbary Rose, NotYourAnything, Inky Void and more.

Lights out at 10pm sharp.

This will be an evening of decadence and erotic debauchery. Champagne, strawberries, chocolate, shibari, restraint, and groundbreaking art.

All funds raised from the Art of Restraint Series go to support the Alchemy Film Foundation grant program for queer, trans and s3x worker filmmakers.
