INFERNO is a queer techno rave and community performance art platform that offers a space for emerging and established LGBTQ+ artists, performers, musicians and DJs. As an offshoot of the monthly raves, INFERNO founder Lewis G. Burton has curated an INFERNO Summit. The summit was created as a space away from the dance-floor to celebrate the community, platform emerging creative talents and hold space for important conversations.

This year’s third iteration of the summit is in direct response to the hardships faced as a result of the pandemic and the effect on those who work in the arts and in nightlife. In the absence and cancellation of queer nightlife, INFERNO Summit provides a space to share and reflect on its meaning.

Programme:

Mykki Blanco interviewed by Sara Sassanelli
Boychild and Wu Tsang in conversation
Future of Queer Communities with Marum, Lady Shug, Nadine Artois chaired by Amelia Abraham
A creatives’ guide to surviving the pandemic with Furmaan Ahmed, Rene Matíc, Sinéad O’Dwyd and Bernice Mulenga chaired by ShayShay Konno.
