This session delves into the dynamic evolution of the Filipino electronic music scene, exploring how it intersects with queer spaces and expressions. It will highlight how this movement not only provides a platform for artistic innovation but also fosters a deeper understanding of the LGBTQ+ community, offering both a refuge and a voice. Through this conversation, we will examine the ways in which electronic music continues to empower and protect those it inspires, shaping a unique cultural narrative that celebrates inclusivity, freedom, and identity.
