Tools for Action + Floor is looking for volunteer ravers / q***r souls for the new project RÆV REHEARSAL. We will organize a series of pop-up raves in the streets of Rotterdam from Mid-June onwards. The idea is to rehearse collective movement, so we can become a dancing radiating swarm that moves through the city. Interested? Please find here more info!

Yesterday took place! As a dancing swarm we moved through the streets of the Red Light District accompanied by latino beats ("the police is gonorrhea") by DJ Juli Salamanca Cortes from the Red Comunitaria Trans, the transgender s*xworkers organisation from Bogotá. The intent of the event was to bring back life to the Red Light district.
In our podcast after talk, Juli Salamanca draws parallels between the situation of s*x work in Bogotá and Amsterdam. “The silence of the pandemic is dangerous. They want to silence us. To do a social cleansing... to erase the identities of s*xworkers, trans people, people of color.” Swarming the Red Light (with sound) was the second experiment in a series of situations. This intervention was organised by Failed Architecture in collaboration with Tools for Action + Floor. DJing by Juli Salamanca Cortes and assisted by fabulous Molta. We were also accompanied by Patri Roa Johansen and others of Papaya Kuir!
As this felt incredibly liberating and good, you can imagine this is only the beginning. Stay tuned and come dance with us soon!
