  • Seska Joins International Lineup for Montréal Launch of More Than a MILF

    October 15, 2026

    Ottawa-based writer, independent creator and sex worker rights advocate Seska is one of 30 contributors to More Than a MILF: Sex and the Aging Female Body, an anthology edited by Vanier teacher and Montréal local Dr. Robyn Diner and published by Off Topic Publishing. The book launches Saturday, October 24, at 8 PM at Kawalees in Montréal. Admission is free.

    About the book

    More Than a MILF gathers true stories from 30 older women and nonbinary writers around the world. It asks how women and nonbinary people can age erotically, playfully and unapologetically, and why so much shame and pain still surround the subject.

    “In a society that often mocks, marginalizes or fetishizes aging women, these spicy and spicy-adjacent narratives invite empathy and curiosity,” says Dr. Diner. “At the end of the day, More Than a MILF insists that shame can’t have the last word.”

    Seska’s essay

    Seska has worked on camera as an independent creator since 1998. Her essay, “Past. Present. Live.”, follows her career from the early days of the adult web, through the collapse of the independent paysite era, to her return to camming in midlife. It examines how her body, her work and her sense of desire have changed with age. She will read an excerpt at the launch.

    “I started on camera in 1998, when nobody was asking what desire looks like at fifty or sixty,” says Seska. “Writing about my body and my work at this age was some of the most honest writing I’ve done. I’m proud to stand next to these writers.”

  • Seska Speaks at JenniCam@30 Symposium on Thirty Years of Live Streaming Cultures

    Ottawa-based writer, independent creator and sex worker rights advocate Seska Lee will be a guest speaker at JenniCam@30: Thirty years of live streaming cultures, a day-long symposium held April 14, 2026, at Concordia University in Montréal. She will present on camming and the construction of liveness.

    About the symposium

    On April 14, 1996, Jennifer Ringley, then a college student, mounted a digital camera on top of her computer in her dorm room and began streaming online. Her webcam, known as JenniCam, transmitted nearly uninterrupted for seven years and became the most enduring webcam performance of the early Internet. Though she was not recognized as a pioneer in her time, Ringley made Internet history by pioneering live self-streaming.

    Exactly thirty years later, the symposium marks the anniversary with an event about and through live streaming practices. Morning and afternoon sessions will be also transmitted online.

    Seska’s talk

    Seska has worked on camera as an independent creator since 1998, which gives her a rare vantage point on the history the symposium set out to examine. Her presentation, “Camming and the Construction of Liveness,” will take place during the afternoon programme, a pop-up live TV studio transmission hosted at the Speculative Life Cluster in Milieux, Concordia, in collaboration with the Institute of Network Cultures.

    She will be joined by an international lineup of speakers and artists:

    Tommaso Campagna on live streaming as a form of publishing (TheVoid.TV)
    Geert Lovink on the lives of the online self
    Seska Lee on camming and the construction of liveness
    Lotte de Jong on webcam and art
    Uandha Fernandes Barbosa, Aalok Sud and Tara Halkiw presenting the live coding performance if (afk == false) stream();
    Mark Sussman introducing pandemic object theatre

    The morning programme at 4th Space, Concordia, will feature a keynote lecture by Susanna Paasonen, “JenniCam in Context,” followed by an in-person conversation.
