The Ballroom scene: from resistance to performance - How art can become a space of resilience.
The Ballroom scene: from resistance to performance - How art can become a space of resilience.This year Afrodyssée has the immense honor of hosting the Franco-Swiss Ballroom scene for an unforgettable experience. Ballroms are a unique blend of artistic and political culture. These socialization spaces were designed as “safe” places for queer and racialized people in reaction to persistent discrimination, at the intersection between racism, homophobia and transphobia..
