Sensorium Festival 2019

Community Code of Conduct

All purchased festival tickets are not refundable.

This policy was developed by XOXO. See the original document here. Everyone participating in the Sensorium community—including, but not limited to the Sensorium Festival and newsletter—is required to agree to the following Code of Conduct. This includes all attendees, speakers, performers, patrons (sponsors), volunteers, and staff.

Sensorium is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neurotype, physical appearance, body, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, language, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Anyone who violates this Code of Conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the Sensorium Festival organizers.

Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neurotype, physical appearance, body, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, language, or religion Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where they’re not appropriate Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “hug” or “backrub”) without consent or after a request to stop Threats of violence Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm Deliberate intimidation Stalking or following Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes Sustained disruption of discussion Unwelcome sexual attention Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent except as necessary to protect other Retune community members or other vulnerable people from intentional abuse Publication of non-harassing private communication without consent by the involved parties Sensorium prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. Sensorium reserves the right not to act on complaints regarding: ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’ Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you.” Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions Consequences

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, Sensorium may take any action we deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all Retune spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser to other Retune community members or the general public.
