As part of Offprint weekend, Derek Ridgers sits down with Yasmine Akim to talk about what it’s like behind the camera on the dancefloors of queer parties, clubs and raves across generations.
Ridgers was a frequent photographer at Leigh Bowery’s notorious club Taboo, where performers, artists and drag queens alike would come together and escape the outside world. Photographer Yasmine Akim builds on this legacy of club photography through her work documenting the parties and performances at INFERNO, the techno rave that champions trans, non-binary and queer DJs and artists.
This talk will be a rare opportunity to hear from two generations of photographers dedicated to archiving boundary-pushing performance and queer communal joy. No ticket needed, just turn up.
