「 About Swoon」
Swoon brings the lgbtq+ community in Chicago together to dance+connect+party, with a focus on qtpoc+trans/gnc+femme identified folx to the front, always. Our goal is to create an intentional space where our politics remain in our party and we can give back to our community through the funds we raise. Any racist, transphobic, misogynistic, etc behavior is not tolerated in any capacity at our events.
「 About sWC」
smallWORLD Collective is a celebration of community and solidarity in the form of electrifying pop up events around the city of Chicago. With an emphasis on fluidity and individuality, sWC is always a space for you to be exactly who you are.
We often find ourselves saying “small world” when we realize just how intimate and small our world really is. We say it when we meet mutual friends, or recognize a stranger isn’t as strange as you may have thought. We are all connected, we are all family, and sWC’s intention is to highlight that phenomenon.
「 About House of Zetina」
Ariel Zetina is a deejay and curator for various dance music focused parties in the city- Diamond Formation at Smartbar, Ariel’s Party at Hideout, Rosebud at Berlin, and Rumors at Exit. House of Zetina represents the deejays, daughters, and performers who regularly contribute to these spaces.

Donate to Reunion Chicago
REUNION
Thank you to Elijah McKinnon and Kristen Kaza for your community service and the founding of Reunion Chicago.
Reunion has held space for FUTUREHOOD events such as B R I G H T E R D A Y S, the Blackie Experience album release party, and our Red Bull Music Festival FUTUREHOOD & FRIENDS official after party and that's only the tip of the iceberg. We have been grateful for the many opportunities Reunion has generated through the communion work space as well as collaboration with reunion and its community members.
We invite all of our fans, friends, and family members to donate to this space because it is an essential part of the queer community in Chicago and will only grow to be more vital in the future.

In 2016, we, Elijah McKinnon and Kristen Kaza opened the doors to Reunion, making a home for LGBTQ, people of color and gender minorities to connect & create freely. After trying our best to work at various coworking communities and spaces around the city, we became increasingly disappointed with the lack of diversity and intentions of workspace and hospitality environments and imagined a more intersectional and collaborative space with Reunion. In a landscape where spaces for marginalized communities are relegated mostly to bars and clubs, Reunion became a space for crucial connection outside of nightlife.
Celebratin Pride with FUTUREHOOD
Join FUTUREHOOD founders Mister Wallace and aCeb00mbaP to celebrate the creative contributions of queer and transgender people of color in music, film, and other media. They’ll share recent projects and discuss how their collective is raising the profile of artists of all identities. Followed by a special musical performance.
