--> Panle talk: Club Culture
🗯️ This panel talk provides an introduction to club culture while also exploring the political and activist perspectives that are essential to understanding the roots of these dance styles.

--> Panel talk: Cultural Context - Between Inclusion and Exploitation
🗯️ This panel explores how street and club dance is taken up by institutions, the industry, and other power structures. How can we distinguish between genuine inclusion and exploitative use of these subcultures? What responsibilities do dancers, organizers, and institutions have in respecting the roots while supporting the ongoing development and future growth?
🗣️ In the panel: Viktor Fröjd, Sonya Lindfors, Birgit Berndt, and Camilla Tellefsen (moderator)
