X by Pipapo

A decade of community, care & culture

What does a safer, more caring nightlife look like?

For 10 years, PIPAPO has been part of Luxembourg’s nightlife and festival scene, creating spaces for conversations around harm reduction, safer use, safer sex and care. X BY PIPAPO celebrates this journey with a full day and night dedicated to learning, exchanging, moving and, of course, partying together.

From 14:00 to 16:00, Rotondes’ Studios host three parallel workshops exploring nightlife, harm reduction and safer party culture:

• Archiving the Night, with Nicole Olenskaia
• PipaPopUp – Peer-to-Peer Safer Party Xchange
• DUCK – From Result to Response, with Carlos Paulos and Mireia Ventura (invite only)

The sessions create space to exchange knowledge, experiences and practices and to look at nightlife from different community and professional perspectives.

From 16:00, we come together at Rotondes’ Klub for Xchanges: conversations and exchanges with people from different areas of nightlife, harm reduction and community work, asking what safer and more caring nightlife can look like today and in the future.

The afternoon continues with a surprise X BY PIPAPO birthday performance, before Jessy" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/jessyjameslafleur">Jessy James LaFleur takes the stage with Setting the Frame, a spoken-word performance reflecting on nightlife, care and the spaces we create together.

At 20:00, it’s time to move. Sarada" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/saradasarita">Sarada Sarita, together with DJ" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/r_krispie">DJ Rice Krispie, leads a clubbing workshop and dance warm-up – an invitation to explore the dancefloor through movement before the night begins.

And then, we celebrate.
