RAVING

Location: Bushwick w/ Kyle and Alice

In Raving, auto-theorist McKenzie Wark writes about the dance floor not as a place of escape, but of rupture. The rave becomes a site of trans becoming, collective dissociation, and fragile communion— a space where identity softens, coherence slips, and bodies feel with and through each other.

We’ll turn to Raving to think about what it means to be in a crowd that doesn’t ask for performance or clarity. What does it feel like to be just a body among other bodies? How do we gather without needing to be seen or understood? What kinds of life get rehearsed in this crowd?

To be followed by an (optional) dance party with Public Service at Maria Hernandez Park :)
