Parties Against Prison and Poison: Keeping Dance Culture Subversive and Safe
???
Day: Friday
Time: 3:00 PM
Location: TentTown
"Despite the proliferation of PLUR and the popularization of EDM, partying can be subversive (and dangerous)! How do we keep each other safe from the intense criminalization of police, the neglect of promoters, the greed of pill-pushers, and the abuse of our bodily autonomy by anyone? How do we also mobilize our party to push back against these things? Based on the personal perspectives, experiences and practices of the facilitators, this session summons up a short survey of the radical contributions to collective care that electronic music scenes can inspire. Through the tabling of a zine distro and interactive workshop, we aim to instill vital skills for the thriving of our excited lifestyles and explore basic questions like: What are zines? How do I test my drugs? What is security culture? Is my phone creeping? How can our community connect with other struggles? Who gets stitches? Do you have a warrant, officer? We will no longer allow our community to become casualties of a catastrophic drug war and the many other threats to our health we are left to fend with ourselves. Bring your curiosities, questions and critiques. This open workshop is about each of us finding our own important role in relation to the whole festival and dance culture. We Take Care of Each Other.
