Club Biopolitics weaves together social scenes bonded by identification of “outsider-ness,” particularly the drag and alternative subcultures. This thesis project brings light to the typical environments in which these cultures thrive, as well as explores the realities of bringing these outsider inhabitants into the day, with all the judgments and fears encompassed by being the odd one out. The core principle of this project is that there is incredible strength in numbers: in our current ever isolated, hyper-individualistic world, one of the most radical acts we can do is to harness this strength. In a microcosm, this is examined through local independent concerts, raves, and other events where the safety of the group is as important as any individual. This would also take a lens to the audience as subject matter, as opposed to only the performer.
