Club culture is not just about partying: it is a social, artistic, and political phenomenon born in the 1970s within the Afro-American, Latino, and queer communities of New York. Through a selection of international photographs, The Beat Goes On! celebrates this vibrant and inclusive culture, from New York disco nights and Parisian dancefloors, to European raves and contemporary queer and Afro scenes.
The exhibition highlights the faces, gestures, and energies that have shaped these nights and continue to write their history. It testifies to a world in constant motion: a story of sharing, love, freedom, and transformation, where the night becomes a mirror of our desires, our struggles, and our era.
