Inkonst
Club · Bergsgatan 29, 214 22 Malmö, Sweden · 1 saved source
Inkonst is Malmö’s premier, avant-garde multi-cultural laboratory where the mainstream goes to die and the underground thrives. While it isn't exclusively a gay club, it serves as the ultimate LGBTQIA+ friendly sanctuary and transgender safespace for Malmö's alternative scene. Tucked inside an old chocolate factory near Möllevången, this multi-disciplinary hub operates as an independent, boundary-pushing theater, performance art space, experimental live music venue, and high-energy club dungeon. Whenever legendary local collectives host their takeover club nights here, it turns into a sweat-slicked, neon-lit oasis of radical electronic and techno expression
