Era: 2020s

QuIRKS, the Queer International Rope & Kink Symposium, was a three-day Studio Allegory event in Vancouver on May 8-10, 2026. Official pages describe Studio Allegory's first QuIRKS as an in-person weekend for queer kinksters with 12 workshops / classes, 3 play parties, an opening orientation, local and international queer presenters, and a resource hub with presenter, timetable and class details. documented as a standalone event because the published programme creates a visible bridge between Studio Allegory's Vancouver scene and existing Berlin / London / Chicago rope educators including Mamana, Renée de Sans, Sophia Rose, Barkas and Anoxia / Nox.
