  • Parties: Bogomir Doringer (dancing in times of crisis)

    In season 3 we explore parties. For many of us it's been about a year since we've danced in a crowd, flirted in dark spaces, felt bass pumping through our bodies. So we're taking the time to look deep into different aspects of nightlife.


    In this first episode, artist and curator Bogomir Doringer talks to us about his ongoing research and filming project "I Dance Alone" which observes clubbing from a birds-eye-view as a mirror of social and political changes. We talk about his clubbing background in Serbia, dance floors that he observed all over the world, and why people dance in times of crisis.

  • Care: Black Trans Art and Joy Fund (Mutual Aid, Allyship, Solidarity)

    In the final episode of our miniseries on Care, we talk to Sharona Lautoe and Xiomara Vírdo from the Black Trans Art and Joy Fund (BTAJF). We ask questions like what does it take to start a mutual aid fund? What does genuine allyship and solidarity look like? Why choose mutual aid instead of a charity model? And how do you create an environment where people feel comfortable reaching out for help?


    The Black Trans Art & Joy Fund is a Dutch-based private initiative founded by Naïmah Janse, Sharona Lautoe and Xiomara Virdó that centers community care for Black Trans people (black trans women, black trans men and black trans non binary people). They organize crowdfunding initiatives, connect networks, and offer practical support to provide the community with space to create, share their art and legacy, and above all: experience joy.

    The BTAJF team is a combination of black trans and black and white cis people who are focused on tangible change for the black trans community worldwide.

  • Care: Lilita Dunska (music for animals, interspecies care)

    In episode three of our miniseries on Care, we wanted to look at interspecies care. Is it possible to do genuinely? To explore this question, we talk to recording engineer and cognitive musicology student Lilita Dunska about human-animal music playing practices for non-human animals, online community building through pet playlists, the trend of pet humanization, and critical anthropomorphism.
