Can healing happen on the dance floor or only in ceremony and therapy? 🪩🕺
For decades, the Queer community has found a deep sense of belonging, catharsis, and ritual at the club. Door people, unlike bouncers who check IDs and kick people out if need be, are tasked with upholding the culture of these spaces—and some of them have become legends in their own right. Cedric Antonio (
@saintpanicworld ), aka Saint Panic, is among them in New York.
In this exclusive interview by Julian Wildhack (
@terror.twunk ), they speak about their journey, the palpable shift in the tone of the underground, and why preserving respect and ritual in these spaces is so important.
Alongside the interview are stunning portraits of Cedric (taken by
