A event on Sunday 12th September. The event starts at 17:00.
TIMES: 17:00-19:00
Yaz Brien (Ujima FM), Harry Gay (Queer Houseparty), Hari Newland (SNOG). Chair: Dani Wijesinghe
This panel will discuss ways in which party spaces can be linked to active social practice, or, 'Rave as Activism'. The club can be a space of working class and queer social reproduction, and the invention of new forms of social organisation and relationships. Culture starts on the dance floor: getting wrecked with your mates and then ending up at a stranger's house can bring about intersections of previously unconnected ideas and create new ones. Communities are built, and through them these ideas gain powerful material bases which can fight for causes, defend themselves, and influence wider culture.
Yaz Brien (they/them) accidentally became a DJ in the early 2000s, fusing Asian Underground and conscious lyrics with their love of all things bass. Less frequently behind the decks these days they can usually be found stage left by the speakers, and on the airwaves as a producer and presenter at Ujima Radio. Involved in grassroots organising and social movements for the last two decades, they bring a queer, anti-racist and feminist perspective to all that they do.
Harry Gay (real name) is a full-time homosexual based in London. By day an LGBTIQ+ housing advocate—most notably one of the original and long-standing crew members of The Outside Project—and by night a DJ, promoter, event producer, and party starter. Before coronavirus, Harry was part of Glamtifa and could be found jumping around London's queer venues to DJ and bring 10/10 vibes while also throwing huge fundraisers supporting marginalised and oppressed members of the LGBTIQ+ community. But during the first lockdown he set up Queer House Party, and he hasn’t slept since.
Underclass nonbinary transfemme Hari Newland (aka Candy HurtZz) is a co-founder of , and over the last few years has programmed Bristol venue The Old E into a buzzing hub of talent and a hive-pool of scenes, supporting a truly unique wave of new artists to flourish. Hari is also joining this dialogue with a perspective from the front lines of direct action the UK, and with a vision of the revolutionary politics that have bubbled up through the mud."
