remembrance of clubs past


An archeology of dusty music, shuttered-up clubs, and empty dance floors.


50 Years of Israeli Club Culture “Throughout, we see people whose desire to have fun becomes an antiestablishment act. And a young person who dances isn’t necessarily protesting the establishment but the ideological hegemony is so strong, that people who deviate for the purposes of pleasure become, whether consciously or unconsciously, anti-nationalistic. You can’t just dance and be normal.”
