They were spaces where creatives would share their work with select guests and exchange ideas freely.They were hosted mostly by women, in lavish living rooms - deliberately not in institutions, as a way to rebel against them.Salons offer an intimate space for creatives to connect with each other, present their work, discuss and experiment with ideas, and form meaningful connections in an open and interested circle of friends.A huge part of Queer Culture stems from and exists specifically and rightly within Club Culture.But when the club becomes the only way to experience queerness, form queer identity, and foster connection, we risk losing something really important.Queers have always been makers of culture: poetry, art, performance, music, dance, thought. Queer art and Queer thinking has made monumental changes to the world, for the better.So let’s build a space that continues that tradition." } ] } ] ```
