Community Bread partnered with Manila based queer collective @thatelephantparty for this very special livestream. This was ELEPHANT's second online stream - it is an amalgam of music and visuals created by queer and trans Filipino artists and DJs. The amount raised from this stream went to the LGBTQIA+ artists who are affected by the pandemic and to everyone who contributed in creating our online protest/party.

From the Elephant Founders, “Elephant was a weekly dance party in Manila that ran for 4 years until the untimely closure of its home base, club XXXX, due to the pandemic. Right before the country was placed on lock-down, Elephant was at its peak, a melting point of local flavor and the different cultures that traveled far to experience it. It was was a safe space that gathered together the city's queer underground, the creative community, and those who have a particular taste in music and style; it was a movement that got people together to create, inspire, discuss and collaborate.
In the more than half a year that the Philippines has been on lock-down, our government committed several atrocities towards its people: closure of a major news company, failure of creating a dependable Covid-19 response, killing of activists, and many more. One that particularly stood out and affected the LGBT community is the pardon given by the president to US Military personnel JOSEPH SCOTT Pemberton, who was convicted of murdering transwoman JENNIFER LAUDE in 2014.
ELEPHANT was never one to shy away from important issues; in fact, we create unapologetic themed events based on these issues so that we could establish a discussion within our community. We are angry, we want to get together. We are frustrated, we want to dance.
With no physical venue to assemble, we forge our presence online, not only to recreate the safe space we've lost, but to also share with the world the unique authenticity that the ELEPHANT collective is known for.”
