The experimental sound performance HYPER FEMME GALACTICA uses the medium of DJing to be more than just a dance party but a site to consider the ways that anything can be transformed into an incubator for dreaming. The performance piece offers a place to think of a utopia. How are we creating our own heaven when it isn’t accessible to us?

konjo is an emerging DJ and sound artist that uses genres such as House, electronic, Techno and Dancehall as a portal to create space for their communities. konjo places their intentions with blending various genres as a way to create their own worlds, building and rebuilding to transform dancefloors as a site for liberation; making the dancefloor a space for dreaming and to think beyond what a dancefloor can do, be or look like. As a Black queer femme, and wanting to be able to be in conversation with the 2SQTBIPOC audience that they are playing for, they use critical fabulation as a way to fill in the gaps where the erasure of Blackness occurs when it comes to genres such as House, electronic and Techno.
