Circus Disco was the longest-running LGBTQ+ Latinx nightclub in Los Angeles (1975–2016), a sanctuary for queer, Latinx, and underrepresented communities.
The project began as my MFA thesis to commemorate the club’s cultural and social significance, exploring how design can preserve memory, identity, and community.
I created three interlocking colored plexiglass installation pieces that referenced the club’s architecture, signage, and visual spirit. A year later, the project expanded into a full brand identity system, reimagining Circus Disco as both a commemorative brand and an event.
Through color, material, and scale, the work evokes the fragility and vitality of queer spaces, inviting reflection and advocating for their preservation.
The foundation of this project lies in the idea of how queer spaces are often beautiful, fleeting, and vulnerable to disappearance.
Using transparent, brightly colored plexiglass, I created sculptural forms that interlock like dancers on a dancefloor, evoking how queer communities build—and lose—spaces together.
Queer spaces like Circus Disco have always been vital sites of community formation, particularly for queer people of color. As gentrification, displacement, and systemic neglect continue to erase these safe spaces, the act of documenting, remembering, and honoring them becomes a necessary radical gesture.
This project emphasizes the importance of designing not just for the future, but for the memory of what once was.
