“Liquid is radical acceptance, an understanding of systemic oppression and a stance against it. By learning and unlearning we are forming freedom.”
Liquid is a collective and a chosen family of queer artists, DJ’s and event producers based in Helsinki. We have a shared desire for safer, radical, softer and more inclusive platforms and events. Working in the gaps that art institutions and the commercial club scene leave unfulfilled.
Parties, clubs and chosen families have been places of refuge and joy for POC and Queer people for decades. We want to remember the idea of parties as a political act, by questioning and unbuilding hierarchies, and unjust structures that we have previously perceived as stagnant.
Politics don’t only happen through laws and institutions. It is also about gestures and narratives, it's about how we live our lives, what access we have and what doors are closed. That is why we have the desire to create room for a wide variety of voices, bodies and experiences while moving towards the experience of collective joy.
We want to make room for community, solidarity and safety while empowering everyone who participates. Being actively critical and aware of our position in the world, we are committed to creating events that support variety, intimacy and diversity.
