halima presents…Club Cocoa, Scorpio Season edition
Club Cocoa is an emerging queer party series founded by NYC-based Nigerian artist halima - built for the diaspora, by the diaspora.
Sweat, sweetness and sound fuse in one expansive celebration of our heritage. Acting as a reclamation of the intrinsically queer African cultures that have been misrepresented, erased, or buried for too long. Club Cocoa is a safe space to exist freely, to be your whole self, and to remember that your existence has always been worth celebrating.
A call out to the queer African babes, Club Cocoa is a meeting point for the pan-African where legacy lands on the dance floor. Inspired by the spirit of Lagos’ Festac 77 festival, Club Cocoa functions as a remembrance of a culture where we dream and build together.
NYC’s finest selectors will journey us through the night: Ubabu, Ch3ri & Nebula, known for their individual dedication to sonic subversion and late-night heat. halima will be premiering some new, unreleased songs live.
That Afro-future our predecessors were striving for, we’re reimagining here.
Hurry. Club Cocoa is calling…
