Queeristan – Autonomous Festival for Queer Politics
The new edition of Queeristan is ready to shake up Amsterdam with its oodles of workshops, performances and other mind-blowing activities. The festival will take place from May 30 to the 2nd of June. For this year, our hosts will be Op de Valreep (Polderweg 620), Vrankrijk (Spuistraat 26) and De Slang (Spuistraat 199). A complete programme is available online (www.queeristan.org).
Queeristan is about providing a space: not only an autonomous space that dodges logics of profit and commercialisation, but also a platform to both explore and counter the normative workings of gender, sexuality and identity, to find intersections and for all that is betwixt and between.
Queeristan is a safe(r) environment for queers and a factory of resistance. Queeristan wants to be a festival where dissent unpredictably materialises and becomes shareable in a performance, in a workshop, in a work of art, in partying all night long… in fact: there is no fixed formula for Queeristan.
