“Rave in Daylight: East Village Queer Lineages” is a guided dérive from Tompkins Square Park to the former location of PARTICIPANT INC on E Houston. Framed as a series of listening “scores,” the walk tunes bodies to the city’s hidden soundtracks while threading street-level history of trans and queer performance. Stopping at sites including Boy Bar, the Pyramid Club, La MaMa, Club 82, the Mercer Arts Center, The Loft, STAR House, Lucky Cheng’s, and CBGB, McKenzie Wark links nightlife, performance art, and mutual-aid spaces, from Connie Fleming and International Chrysis to Jayne County, Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera, Frankie Knuckles & Larry Levan.
