ABOUT JUNK DRAWER /// Junk Drawer was a project I founded in 2018 along with my husband Justin and friend Aleks. We ran the party for 6 years together. Junk Drawer was a ravey, underground queer dance party in Denver. It was also a large scale social practice art project.
Junk Drawer was born out of a dire need for a more queer, vibrant, radical and inclusive nightlife in Denver. The parties took place at various locations throughout Denver. For each party, we collaborated with a visual artist to create a custom-made dance floor installation and we sought out DJs from scenes in other cities who have a sound we want to bring to our QUEEN city of the plains as well as support local DJs we admire. Our aim was to put Denver on the map of queer culture while simultaneously creating a safe and celebratory space for our BIPOC, trans and gender non-conforming friends and family.
There are traumas beyond measure in queer communities everywhere. This party was our small but mighty effort to heal some of those wounds.
