In club culture, the word „gatekeeping" describes a method of excluding people who should not attend a particular event or party. But gatekeeping as you mentioned, is also a term that has been used recently in conversations among artists of color. In his "Club Climate Change" works, of which gatekeeping is a part, the artist has imagined a future in which climate change has accelerated and everything in the world is sweating, so that the gates that were supposed to prevent entry have liquefied: Everyone who has been forgotten so far can participate in the "Last Dance".
