- Abstract
- Posters with messages related to harm reduction and political statements
- Description
- Error.tpg* is a queer collective from Marseille organizing parties by queer people for queer people : LGBTQIA, QPOC, sex workers.
To them, partying is political, because our queer bodies, music and lifestyles are political. These posters, stuck on the walls of their last party in October 2021 and posted on their social media, are a way to reassert it. They intend to bring the public to discuss queer, trans, sex-work-related issues, issues of precariousness, policing, deportations and other violence against the marginalized ; as well as to create an actual inclusive space, in which all minorities feel that they belong. Moreover, the posters provide advice for drug-related harm reduction.
These messages were also visible in the party’s VJing** ; both imageries were created by the Error.tpg member and graphic designer Gael Lapasset.
The collective acknowledges that a 100% « safe space » is unreachable, however they are setting up different means to create a welcoming, pressure-free party environment :
- A harm reduction table with information and equipment
- 2 collective members that are visible through the party, available and lucid, that you can reach in case of trouble
- A message prior to the party, informing that all dress codes are welcome - from kinky & leather to pyjamas - and that they would like this place to be free of any judgement based on appearance and style
- Encouraging people to plan their return walk in groups
- Not forbidding any substances, but fostering discussions on consent
* Tpg stands for transpédégouine, a French translation of ‘queer’
