MONTAGE: Anjali + Ex.sess + xato + more

Can nightlife also be activism? Come help this research move forward by dancing your favourite limbs off until the early morning. You may expect unexpected swirls of brainy textures and bodily bass from the far corners of the electronic music spectrum. This is club commons theory in collective joyfull action.

​

Add another, even deeper, even more political layer to your dancing hours by first joining the conversation in Beurscafé at 19:00.

19:00 - 20:30 conversation

Tonight’s conversation zooms in (or out?) to talk about club commons, communing practices and movement building in/through/for queer nightlife. Or, how nightlife can also be political activism.

Moderator of tonight is MONTAGE’s own Jonathan Cant aka cratje, co-founder and self-proclaimed sugar daddy of the music collective and label. His own music, his music curation, his organising and his multidisciplinary arts practice all seem to share a knack for new (sonic) pleasures and old (timeless!) ideas – about inclusion, justice and just making the world a slightly better place for everyone in it. Catch him at his regular kiosk radio slot stoute muziek (naughty music) – and later tonight warming up the rooftop, b2b with MONTAGE-mommy Laura Conant.
