In an era where the dance floor is our medicines, bodies – hips – lips are our connection, and the extravagant expression of our art heralds in abundance, Thirst Nation brings forth a night-life experience like no other. Prioritizing IndigiQueer and 2 Spirit artists from here on Turtle Island or in neighbouring communities to the south, this night will be sure to leave you sweating and thirsty.
