Raving: Encounters & Collisions in Night/Life

Raving: Encounters & Collisions in Night/Life will explore the lives and afterlives of queer rave culture as aesthetic, political, and subjective complex societal networks that implicate us as cultural consumers, producers, and participants. As an operating system for overriding the present, situated at the confluence of Blackness, queerness, and transness, rave culture propels and alters conditions for practicing temporary liveness through rapture & rupture. Through dancing explorations, lectures, discussions, as well as collectively imagined and constructed raves, this course will invite us to continuously renew our habits of assembly.
