From Les Girls to Monsta Gras, alternative club culture in Sydney continues to be an important platform for community-building and the development of experimental performance practices. Within the context of gentrification and shifting urban dynamics, this panel discussion will explore the significance and precarity of Sydney’s club nights and venues from the 1970s to now.
Moderated by artist, curator and publican Emma Price, speakers include artist and founding member of queer artist collective Glitter Militia and Club Ate Justin Shoulder as well as the Co-founders of Club Kooky and more TBA.
Presented as part of the exhibition The Beehive at UNSW Galleries.
