5. Being in the Room Privilege: Olympia

Long time no see, but The Fluidity of Resistance is back! In the
fifth episode host neo seefried invites drag queen,
choreographer, moderator, and writer Olympia Bukkakis. Her
practice is inspired by tensions and intersections between queer
nightlife and contemporary dance and performance. In this
conversation Olympia and neo talk about politics and behavior in
queer related spaces and the interchanges of subculture and
(cultural) institutions. As a worker of the night, how  do
you move in between subcultural and institutionalized spaces?
Olympia explains more about the privilege to be in the room and
whether state funding of queer sub- and club culture is a
solution to the low paying rates in culture and nightlife.
