Arab Institute in Paris hold 'Vogue dance' party to celebrate LGBT+ community • FRANCE 24 English

FRANCE24, 21 Jan 2023
It’s always time to Vogue. At the "Habibi, revolutions of love" exhibition at the Arab World Institute in Paris, a huge party celebrating LGBT+ culture across the Arab world brought joy to the French capital. What better way to pay homage to tolerance and love in the Arab World than an evening celebrating the revolutionary Vogue dance (origins of voguing in the 1980s by the black and Latinx queer communities) from NYC? But are we really free to love wherever we are in the world? To often the answer is “no”. It is all too frequently even more difficult when you live in an Arab-Muslim country. FRANCE 24 went along to celebrate, and we found out that the soul of the dance is as political as ever.
