For seven years, I’ve been designing safety programs for raves, clubs, and festivals. My teams make sure that guests have an amazing time, and get the support they need if things go wrong. Our work takes pressure off of security and medical so that those teams can focus on what they do best.
I was a core member of the safer spaces team at Nowadays for four years and created the safer spaces programs at Sustain-Release, No Way Back and Horst, where I directed teams of 7-30 staff in support of 1,200-10,000 guests. I have advised many more organizations on creating or improving their programs, including Dripping, House of Yes, Kinesis, Light & Sound Design, Resident Advisor, and System Activate.
As a nightlife educator, I created the community events program at Nowadays, for which I produced and hosted over four dozen talks, workshops, panels, and screenings. I also co-developed and facilitated the Horst Music Lab, a four-day intensive on harm reduction and violence prevention in nightlife.
I’ve spoken on these topics with Bloomberg Businessweek, New York Magazine, the University of Buffalo School of Social Work, Refuge Radio and Kiosk Radio, and once wrote a grumpy letter to the editor about my work to the New Yorker.
I would love to work with your organization on your safer spaces program. Reach out to start the conversation at zoexbeery@gmail.com.
