imagetanz Closing Party
curated by Tender Matter
Happy birthday, imagetanz! brut celebrates the end of this year's imagetanz festival with the two DJs isocialbutterflyy and bossschnuffi, the party is curated by the record label Tender Matter. All festival visitors, artists and friends of brut are invited to come together to the sounds of spherical electronic music and celebrate the 35th anniversary of imagetanz.
Meeting in Vienna by collaborating within the scene, isocialbutterflyy and bossschnuffi are coming from different but still comparable queer feminist collectives, organizing important events such as HYPERREALITY and DISHES in Vienna as well as POSSY in Hamburg. They have been exchanging tracks with each other for a while now and are more than honored for being able to play together for the first time at the closing of imagetanz 2024 in the frame of the installation Choir of Kin.

In her work, she investigates interdisciplinary and unknown images in sound, film and theater from an afro-diasporic position.

A shifting experience was 2017 the co-foundation of POSSY, a collective which works around visibility of FLINTA* in extended club contexts.
