Emergent Bass

Emergent Bass is an interdisciplinary event series focused on the BIPoC community. In our regular events, we combine the four disciplines: theory and discourse, with music and performance. Next to the many great artists*, we collaborate with the Archive of Youth Cultures, transmission.net and Mensch Meier.

We want to connect to the history of Black and Queer people who have long celebrated the dancefloor as places of resistance. Through music, input and performances, we want to pay respect to those whose stories are too often not heard in the mainstream. House and techno music were born in Black and queer communities that used the dancefloor as a place for collective healing.
