This is the summer of the great return of the legendary love parade which goes now under the name of Rave the Planet, The parade will happen on the 9th of July and will have the attendace of about half million people. RTP is a peaceful demonstration, calling for the recognition and preservation of our beloved electronic music culture, celebrating equality and inclusivity between humans of all genders and and nationality. Disconnekt and Gegen, are collectives active in the electronic music scene since many years, joining forces on a project to build a truck of the weight of 18tn which will run through the entiere parade hosting 200 people including international and local electronic music acts and performers.

For the development of the illustrations, Andrea Bolzo (queer illustrator) was inspired by the meaning of the words Gegen and Disconnekt, on how it pushes their community to stand out and go against the society that tries to suppress them. The main goal was to give birth to many genderless creatures, aliens, exactly how the society perceives us, in order to destroy all binary systems and highlight our gender fluidity.

There are clear references on how the new fashion collections are contaminated by fetish elements that characterise our kinky parties and how the underground culture is often commodified as a haute couture design.
This imaginary is meant to embrace creatures of all colours, genders, sexualities, universes, shapes and sizes, enjoying what they have created from the bottom throughout the music and sharing this culture with the rest of the world.
We are queer, that’s why we’re here!
