DIASPORA DISCO is a contemporary revival of the discotheque – a temporary emancipatory space where diasporic bodies mingle, collide and dance with the rest of the world.
DIASPORA DISCO focuses on intersections between the Asian diaspora and other diasporic communities while questioning what “Asian-ness” might be.
DIASPORA DISCO uses the club as a space to embody the cross-border, transnational exchanges that are characteristic of diasporic bodies through the approach of nightlife as a social practice.
DIASPORA DISCO is a chance for underrepresented Asian bodies to claim space and express ourselves freely whilst generating potent white-supremacy-toppling-dance-energy.
