Sanctuary After Dark: Legacies of Queer Nightlife presented in collaboration with Body Hack — live event on Jun 27, 2026
Buffy, FASHION (US) and 1 more live at Nowadays, Queens on Sat, Jun 27, 2:00 PM. Free entry. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.
The club, the party, the disco, the bar, the rave, the rager, the afters, the carry. Are these all sanctuary, however imperfect? Sanctuary After Dark unfolds legacies of nightlife as sites of sanctuary, particularly as refuge for queer communities across generations in New York City. Artists including Lola Flash, Alice O’Malley, and Julie Tolentino will reflect upon queer 90s nightlife and its echoes through today through different creative engagements. These will include a thread of lineage drawn between Body Hack and the Clit Club. Operating from 1990 to 2002, the Clit Club was a legendary queer party in New York’s meatpacking district that organized and galvanized queer communities through years of crisis and upheaval. Active since 2018, Body Hack is a collective and event series producing multi-faceted parties and fundraisers supporting trans and gender non-conforming community members. Sanctuary After Dark will occur during Body Hack’s 2026 Pride Nonstop at Nowadays, a weekend-long party supporting mutual aid campaigns for trans healthcare, decarceration, housing, and overall stability while revealing vital resonances between multiple generations of queer nightlife sanctuary spaces.
