Maltese Photographer Documents Swedish Pop Icon & Amsterdam Femme+ Rave Collective
Music

Maltese photographer Justine Ellul, who is based in the Netherlands, recently documented a unique collaboration between Swedish pop icon Robyn and Amsterdam FEMME+ rave collective Freï, where she works as the collective's in-house photographer.

The one-night-only event, Freï Invites Robyn, took place at Nachbar in Amsterdam on May 31st and was co-curated by Robyn during her Amsterdam run as an opening act for Harry Styles. The collaboration was initiated by Robyn's team, who approached Freï: a femme+ collective known for centring FLINTA+ artists and communities within Amsterdam's nightlife scene to create a celebration of local queer dance culture.

As Freï's resident photographer, Ellul was tasked with documenting the evening, capturing a rare meeting between an internationally acclaimed artist and one of Amsterdam's most influential emerging queer nightlife collectives and highlighted the growing visibility of femme-led spaces within the city's club culture.
