Clubbing after Lockdown
New Generation Thinker Tom Smith reflects on the creativity around nightclubs and how club culture will have changed after being shut down during the pandemic.
New Generation Thinker Tom Smith reflects on the effect the pandemic has had on the creativity of nightclubs. Club culture has had to improvise during the Lockdown as it moved from the dance floor to the living room. But the haven that the night club provides for different communities has been badly missed. How will it have changed when the doors finally reopen and clubbers come back together?
Tom speaks to Kirsty Hassard, Curator at V&A Dundee, about the exhibition Night Fever: Designing Club Culture (1 May 2021 to 9 January 2022), and to Kikelomo, a DJ, producer, curator and host from London working between Berlin and Accra.
Producer: Neil McCarthy
