Debuted in 2018 by Chivengi, HUMBLE aims to highlight queer black subcultural genres, such as house, techno, afro, r&b, and how they are translated within the Quebec diaspora context by booking artists of various backgrounds, from near and far. Aiming to make the connection between ballroom/jersey club culture, experimental music scenes and DIY queer party subculture, the event is designed to create safer space for party goers to attend and (re)connect with likeminded individuals of similar background in the city through music, within a more thought conscious setting.
The HUMBLE showcase will be broadcasted here (on the slutislandfestival.com homepage) on Friday, October 16th 2020.
