UwU & Friends Spring Equinox with DJ Wawa

✿ About UwU & Friends ✿

UwU & Friends is a multidisciplinary event series showcasing underground dance music created by, and for, Portland’s Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and Trans/Gender-nonconforming community.

Through collaboration, music, site-specific video projection, and installation art, we showcase established and emerging DJs and artists to explore a new type of party—a queer utopia. With the dance floor as the center, we aim to rejuvenate our community by creating safe, healing spaces featuring art, music, and dance.
