Description: Roni is interviewed by Ten Harber. Roni moved to Brighton in 2009 from Rome after previously visiting Brighton Pride. She speaks about the origin of Tramfrau as a response to Brighton’s nightlife being primarily geared towards students. She talks about how an activity space was included in the event to encourage interaction and socialising beyond the dancefloor. She talks about the risks taken to include different types of performance and music and how that has been unappreciated or misunderstood. Feedback is an important part of the process and has shaped how this event has changed over time.
As the night became more successful it moved to a larger venue and some measures were taken to counteract antisocial behaviour, such as through the marketing of the event as well as featuring politics as part of the decor. She speaks further about the sensitivities around the language used to describe and conceptualise the night and how this has evolved alongside the event itself.
