What do you want from queer nightlife? Combining music, storytelling, gossip, and dance, this sweaty performance lecture is also an invitation for you to catch the beat
Black queer dance floors have always thrived at the edge of imagination, a place we invent other ways of gathering, of imagining new ways to bend space and time, to exist at the edge of feeling. This performance manifesto underscores nightlife as a method of living in and through the five-alarm fire of Black queer life that is about more than resistance, surviving, or getting by but about chasing the edge in pursuit of a dream for a more beautiful life.
…and then we twirled.
