Ep171: an interview with rope artist Voudou Ropes

Anastasia from Voudou Ropes is an international shibari artist. Her
8 years experience in the field includes teaching, exhibitions,
events and performances in several countries. Anastasia attracts
people who want to feel rope as an art form, and she uses rope as a
tool to communicate without words. Voudou Ropes has held three 3
sold out shibari retreats in Mexico, with clients flying in from
the US and Europe. Anastasia is also growing a beautiful
open-minded community in Playa del Carmen holding classes and
events on a weekly basis. In this conversation, Fox and Mya discuss
with her: • How she discovered rope bondage and some of the
mistakes she made along the way • How she uses learning as a way to
connect internationally • Her values in rope • How she has made her
rope a business • The importance to her of community and
opportunities to learn • Her very active social media presence and
how instagram helps her business • Decorative rope and rope for
self-love • What she does - and doesn’t post on her rope social
media • What makes people share their rope stories with her • What
the photoshoot of her dreams would be • Her large collection of
rope types and her favourites • The place of rope in her personal
life • How she does a couples check in with her husband using rope
• Why she sees herself as a ‘rope artist’ rather than a ‘rope
kinkster’
