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.
