For the fifth birthday of Hot Topic there will be a special edition of the party celebrating the Jewish holiday Purim in a queer way.
Purim is the funnest jewish holiday of them all. Not a carneval of, but for the soul. It's a mitzvah to get drunk together, in costume. This March, Hot Topic celebrates queer jewish culture. Which also means: everybody is welcome, as usual. There will be an extraordinary show, song, drink, dance and probably food.
Hot Topic is a queerfeministic project hosting DJs, producers and artists offside the heteronormative party-mainstream. Hot Topic especially celebrates women, lesbian, trans and genderqueer people, POC and black artists behind the desks and on stage. It is not only a party, but a forum for networking that gives home to diverse queerfeministic scenes & topics as well as their rebels and cuties. Each Hot Topic supports a political group or project with an info stand and donations. The party offers a wide range of musical styles from queerfeministic tunes to pop, house, hip-hop as well as R&B and rock music. It seeks to celebrate and (re)present all those who challenge the perception of mainstream-nightlife and heteronormativity in general.
At one a.m. there will be a kosher costume competition. Purim is famous for being a colorful costume holiday. Therefore, all guests are invited to dress up in their best costumes and participate in Nana Schewitz's competition.
