Movement Politics (What Can, and Can't, Our Dancefloors Transform?)

Talks

FRIDAY, 20:00 - 22:00, AMBIENT STAGE

  • LGBT partying is both commodified and controversial like never before. Cities like Berlin export parties as worldwide brands, recriminalization laws by right-wing regimes seek to ban the so-called promotion of our lifestyles, and boycott campaigns use dance music infrastructure to move politics more broadly. DJs can save our lives, but can they save the left? Can dance music and its cultures move politics?
