Cause and Effect presents:
In honor of pride month, DJ Miss Kitty is focusing on the fabulous queer/drag ballroom music scene of 1970s/80s/90s New York. We’re talking disco, house, vogue…WERKING IT!
“Ballroom, ball, or house culture has been a way for queer blacks and Latinos to respond to a society that devalued their lives and attempted to erase their presence. Through elaborate performances incorporating and commenting on race, class, and gender, the ball community has historically reflected the American Dream and one’s exclusion from it.” –BY LESTER FABIAN BRATHWAITE
