Queer Spaces: Behind the Scene
Episode 1 - Queer House Party
Episode notes
Featured on the debut episode of Queer Spaces: Behind the Scene (hosted by Alim Kheraj) is Queer House Party.
Self-described as a “DJ collective, community platform and award-winning queer party that’s accessible, radical, DIY and punk AF”, Queer House Party originally began as a weekly virtual party at the start of the pandemic in March 2020, as a way of hanging out with their close circle of friends.
These online events cultivated a much-needed community for queer people during various lockdowns in the UK and across the world - bringing those together even in countries where it is illegal to be gay. In a (presumably) post-lockdown world, the parties have moved to physical settings with people in (“from the URL to IRL”).
