Dune Wars Kiki Ball - Van Vogue Jam
On February 2, 2025 the cosmic forces of Van Vogue Jam and PuSh Festival converge for a showdown of galactic proportions: Dune Wars Kiki Ball. Hosted by the Kiki Legendary Overall Mother Posh Gvasalia, this astro-glam extravaganza celebrates the creativity and resilience of the QTBIPOC community through Ballroom—a culture founded by Black, Latinx, Queer and Trans folk in NYC, Harlem in the 60’s. The most fab children of Vancouver’s Ballroom scene will compete for cash prizes—and interstellar supremacy—across categories where space-age vogue, fashion and attitude bring the planets of Arrakis and Tatooine into alignment.
Walkers will storm the runway in extraterrestrial hair sculptures, metallic robot chic and sandworm couture, channeling influences from the iconic Houses of Ballroom all the way to the noble House Atreides. Witness Jedi vogue precision with lightsabers in hand, as they walk the line between Real and Bizzare, while Bene Gesserit sisters wield the Voice to deliver reads that echo through the galaxy.
In this climactic face-off, it’s do or do not. There is no try. Fear is the mind-killer and serving supreme Fremen furocity is their only hope. Will performers harness their artistry to restore balance to the universe or to assert celestial dominion? One thing is certain: as prophecies are fulfilled and legends unfold, it’s going to get spicy. May the shade be with you!
