Public Disco events pay homage to the rich and diverse history of dance music, rooted in the pioneering efforts of Black, Queer, and Trans communities in Chicago and New York. Locally, it flourished within alternative art spaces and iconic gay clubs such as Graceland, Gandydancer, Faces, and the Odyssey. Throughout its evolution, dance music culture has been a beacon of acceptance and diversity, with trailblazers like Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan leading the way. This event celebrates the resilience of Black, Queer, and Trans communities, honouring their commitments to dance music culture, and their ongoing work to bring people together through music.
