Ryan Cassata heads today’s Queer Is Not Dead programme at OCCII in Amsterdam.
The wider seven-artist bill crosses queercore, folk-punk, hardcore and riot-grrrl territory, but the more interesting story is the event itself: volunteer organised, explicitly community driven and using music to fund a local cause.
That’s about as independent as today’s roundup gets, underscoring how grassroots venues remain essential cultural sanctuaries.
