    About This Event

    Dissident at Nowadays presents Carly Zeng with a lineup that includes Pageant Queens, THC and Will Jack. The bill pairs artists from divergent backgrounds: Pageant Queens draw on beauty-pageant performance and stagecraft; THC adopts a chemically derived name — THC‑O‑acetate — as part of its identity; Will Jack's work is rooted in online-business instruction, framing a DJ night where electronic music meets performance, nomenclature and entrepreneurial practice.

    About the Artists

    Pageant Queens

    Pageant Queens are individuals who have won titles in beauty pageants, often representing various regions or organizations in competitions that evaluate contestants on beauty, talent, and other criteria.

    THC

    THC-O-acetate is the acetate ester of THC. The term THC-O-acetate is commonly used for two different isomers of this substance, dependent on which isomer of THC it is synthesized from. The difference between Δ8-THC and Δ9-THC is the location of the double bond within the cyclohexene ring system.
