Doing the most is a queer, black, indigenous and people of colour focused initiative that aims to reimagine nightlife as a sensory, spiritual and joy-focused experience of togetherness.
Nightlife is the black canvas through which we get to satisfy whatever creative urge and fiction we feel like exploring.
Nightlife is our material, like clay, it can be shaped to create a beautiful piece of art.
Be unapologetically the most, be too much, be extra in your own way, but ultimately be your own fucking creation.

Naomi Lilith Quashie is a transdisciplinary visual and performance artist based in Brussels.
She perceives artistic work, whatever the media, as an excuse to fictionalise herself by renewing her persona (infinitely) while creating mythologies in which her multiracial and multicultural queer body can find ascendance and place itself within a more global H/history.
From sculptural pieces to costume designing, from performances to nightlife event organisation, or writing while collaborating with culinary chefs. She strongly believes that decomparmentalizing our notion of what constitutes art allows to experience it on a more metaphysical and spiritual level.
