Equal parts nightclub and interactive entertainment space, Culture is a playground for nocturnal art enthusiasts and music lovers alike, creating a symphony for the senses.
Spearheaded by DC-based collective Nü Androids and its founder, Nayef Issa, the brand new club is an exercise in contrarian production. Electronic music is his love language, and shared experiences are its touchstone.
Issa, who has organized shows with Grammy-winning superstar Black Coffee and late fashion icon Virgil Abloh, is renowned in the area's nightlife sector for his proclivity to alchemize art with rave culture. From the dangling palm fronds to the iridescent disco balls that enshroud Culture in kaleidoscopic hues, his visceral approach is apparent in every nook and cranny of venue.
