An immersive Indonesian open house created by the Indonesian Queer Collective (IQC), a registered charity cultural organisation dedicated to advancing Indonesian queer arts and cultural visibility. The event invites audiences to step beyond Bali stereotypes and experience the humour, flavour, and camp of Indonesia’s vibrant queer and multicultural community.
Your ticket includes four glorious journeys:
1st journey: Taste. A tasting table of jajanan pasar, Indonesia’s beloved sweet and savoury traditional snacks and desserts. Colourful and dangerous if you love carbs.
2nd journey: Sip. A tasting of Toraja Coffee, a bold highland brew from South Sulawesi, served unfiltered in traditional kopi tubruk style. Strong and no small talk coffee.
3rd journey: Ask. Our interactive segment “Ask Drunk Indonesian” opens the floor to any burning questions: travel tips, cultural mysteries, cheeky curiosities. No topic off-limits, no guarantee of diplomatic answers.
4th journey: Move. When the DJ drops Dangdut beats, the room becomes the party. Explore our costume library of headpieces and Indonesian-themed props before joining a joyful community dance where culture meets queer energy.
Bonus package: Live drag performances from Mandi Suda and Aida Mame to keep the afternoon slightly unpredictable.
