A Feast of Queer Art and Underground Club Culture
Named after the staff meal a kitchen prepares for itself after service ends, nomadic queer collective Popoff Kitchen brings Makanai to Hven Nakameguro for a late-night gathering of literature, art, performance and electronic music cooked by and for the community.
The night opens at 10 p.m. with the launch of The Borders, a collective artist book on queer life in Tokyo by Sarau and Fernando Kague, alongside an exhibition of art objects by Berlin’s Berk Akkaya, Moscow’s Andrey Soul and Tokyo’s HEY2 exploring desire, taboo and attraction. Following a live performance by Kague and Yifan Zhuang, the dancefloor takes over until dawn with techno and house sets from Kirill Shapovalov, DSKE, MUNÉO, WAKA XINXI and Vasia Saiko. Akkaya will also document the night for his global series on underground queer spaces.
