Drastic Social Townhall Meetup

Bergen, Events, Identity

Drastic Social will host a “Townhall Meetup” at 18.00 on 10 June at Bergen Assembly in collaboration with Vers Libre Radio and Reclaim Pride Bergen. Attendees can anonymously send in feedbacks about the topic — “What do we need?”

Drastic Social has been creating, collaborating and participating in events since we started in Hong Kong in 2019. By facilitating our collaborators and providing a space in our community, we have also built a support system for the ones in need.

From our perspective, we want to create a safer and more inclusive platform for creators to make things happen, to have the freedom to explore their identities, self-expression, innovation, joy and creation, and a space for all participants to fail, learn and grow. This explains the nature of our events which are usually geared towards queer communities, marginalised identities and newcomers who need more help getting started. Ultimately, we want to create a place where we can all feel we belong, thus making it easier to ask for help, take up space and communicate with vulnerability so we can be brave and embrace each other.

The Townhall meet-up hour will be a crucial moment for us to ask our communities some questions, so we can design better facilities for our people moving forward.

Vegetarian/ Non Veg Dumplings will be served from 18.00. Servings are limited so come earlier to get your free vouchers from 17.00 during Vers Libre Radio X Konsept [X] “Back to Back” DJ workshop!

A Sensory exploration – MusicVisualsTastesFeelsPlay

The idea to create an intimate event where the audience feels like they can immerse themselves in the environment of the artist’s private space, to learn about the band’s stories, the emotions behind the songs, and the memory of taste infused with the music and mood.
