Open Conversations
How can we imagine accountability processes to look like within our communities?
What are our hopes and visions for the future of the queer community in Singapore?
How can we belong while holding room for differences?
Per°Form CoThink Lab Fellow Bussy Temple invites Bussy Temple's community members and fellow rave organisers to Open Conversations: On Future Hopes for Queer Community & Accountability. Come co-reflect with us on rave organising, accountability, and hopes for the queer community.
This event intends to be a non-hierarchical and collaborative environment, rooted in mutual exploration and open dialogue. Together, we will explore ideas and solutions through shared insights and experiences.
The session will include a Build-A-Rave workshop, where we want to hear how you would approach different problems that rave organisers face; space to process the last party together; and a larger co-reflection on hopes for our community.
A collective of creatives organising raves centred around queer, trans, nonbinary and femme individuals, Bussy Temple organically formed through the shared frustration over the lack of non-cis-men queer spaces in Singapore. Their parties serve as a social and political tool to activate the queer imagination and transformative potentials of gender and identity, as well as create safe spaces for the queer community to let go, glitch, and expand our ways of being.
