Transnational Queer Underground (Blog, Network)

Location

Berlin
Germany
52° 31' 9.0156" N, 13° 24' 21.9276" E

Statement:

The “transnational queer underground” emerged as a reference to the “international pop underground”, a convention initiated by Calvin Johnston (K Records/Portland/USA) in 1991 to take a stand against the sell-out of the music industry and also laid the foundation for the riot grrrl movement. In 2009 I was doing a lot of research on issues related to queer music for an article I was writing at that time and thought that the information I collected might be useful to some other people as well.
