HEDONISM & DATING with Prishita Maheshwari-Aplin

Here we have a lovely conversation with Prishita about hedonism and dating, expecting more from ourselves and others in dating and being led into community and activism by pleasure. Prishita is a writer, editor, queer theorist and grassroots organiser exploring the transhistorical cultures and political realities of the queer community. Their essay/manifesto, Roses for Hedone: On Queer Hedonism and World-Making Through Pleasure (2025) reframes queer hedonism from a transient individualistic phenomenon to a collective and futuristic transformational energy. Previously Politics Editor at BRICKS Magazine, Prishita also sits on the Advisory Board of Split Banana. Their advocacy in pursuit of queer liberated futures, a Free Palestine and a dismantling of all oppressive structures is informed by their trans, migrant and multicultural identity.
