One of the biggest gay related parties in the whole world is Black Party, a once a year event that happens in New York City in April.
In a world increasingly threatened by small minds and big politics, The Black Party steamrolls into its 39th year. Legendary, welcoming, intimidating and exclusive, Rites XXXIX: The Black Party continues to pierce the boundaries of queer culture.
Underscoring the party’s forward momentum is the commissioning of New York City artist Gio Black Peter as this year’s Creative Director. A multimedia provocateur who’s built a formidable body of work resisting proscription and conformity, attendees can anticipate Gio's eye-popping art, video, and performances to gleefully exploit this year’s theme, “PIGTOPIA: I Want to Break Free.”
Reliably subversive and immersive, the Black Party remains a world unto itself, a portal into a dizzying, dark, and decadent celebration of fetish, dance and art.
In anticipation of the big event, Gio has released a very cheeky teaser video for PIGTOPIA, which is a twisted twist on the #SatisfactionChallenge if there ever was one.
