Nightlife as Resistance

These selected passages of a fictional diary offer an intimate glimpse into the journey of Yuki, a 23-year old female Dj, event organizer, and nightlife freak, born and raised in Amsterdam. Written from an embodied experience of various nightlife spaces the diary navigates a range of themes as commoning, radical imagination, escapology/institutional critique, activism & postcapitalistic design. Exploring the potentials and challenges of nightlife as an artistic strategy to advance socio-political urgencies, these rites of passages offer a sensible invitation to honor this living form of art not merely as a hedonistic practice, but as a powerful catalyst for transformation.
