Arshia Haq describes Discostan as a “diasporic discotheque which imagines past, present and future soundscapes from Beirut to Bangkok via Bombay.” The music is often inspired by the performative traditions of radical, avant-garde artists and musicians, a practice that defines Discostan's community engagement model.

Just dance, now.
At the end of our June 2021 online live event—a six-hour-long series of panels, showcases, readings, and performances—a “diasporic discotheque which imagines past, present and future soundscapes from Beirut to Bangkok via Bombay”. Founded by Arshia Fatima Haq, Discostan is heavily invested in community engagement and social practice. For In Grief, In Solidarity, Haq curated a DJ set for us to let loose.
SAAG Visual Designer Prithi Khalique produced the visuals, using recurring motifs from our event videos.
