MondoHomo
MondoHomo Dirty South[1] is an alternative queer music & arts festival that debuted in Atlanta in June 2007,[2] during the first U.S. Social Forum. MondoHomo was the love child of Kiki Carr, Ria Pell and Nikki Chotas,[3] and was inspired by Olympia, Washington's Homo-a-Gogo Festival.
MondoHomo Dirty South 2008[4] took place over Memorial Day weekend in Atlanta. It was the biggest showcase of HomoHop in the South, and one of the significant showcases in the U.S.,[5] along with Oakland's PeaceOut festival.
In addition to HomoHop, MondoHomo featured 5 days of radical queer punk, rock, DJs, spoken word, drag, burlesque, visual art, games and workshops. MondoHomo foregrounded queer radical politics in the South, and embodied DIY politics and culture.[6]
The last MondoHomo festival took place in 2012.
