「 About Swoon」
Swoon brings the lgbtq+ community in Chicago together to dance+connect+party, with a focus on qtpoc+trans/gnc+femme identified folx to the front, always. Our goal is to create an intentional space where our politics remain in our party and we can give back to our community through the funds we raise. Any racist, transphobic, misogynistic, etc behavior is not tolerated in any capacity at our events.

「 About sWC」
smallWORLD Collective is a celebration of community and solidarity in the form of electrifying pop up events around the city of Chicago. With an emphasis on fluidity and individuality, sWC is always a space for you to be exactly who you are.
We often find ourselves saying “small world” when we realize just how intimate and small our world really is. We say it when we meet mutual friends, or recognize a stranger isn’t as strange as you may have thought. We are all connected, we are all family, and sWC’s intention is to highlight that phenomenon.

「 About Molasses」
Molasses is curated and cultivated by the minds of Black, queer, and trans people, celebrating the work and artistry of Black non-cisgender and non-cisgender people of color. The name Molasses, a substance with several ties to the history and power of Blackness, represents who is most centered in this new series.

「 About House of Zetina」
Ariel Zetina is a deejay and curator for various dance music focused parties in the city- Diamond Formation at Smartbar, Ariel’s Party at Hideout, Rosebud at Berlin, and Rumors at Exit. House of Zetina represents the deejays, daughters, and performers who regularly contribute to these spaces.
