STRANGELOVE is an alternative arts festival on the topic of gender diversity and sexual orientation.Strangelove festival programs queer films, (interactive) performances, dance, visual arts, photography, literature, music and workshops.
‘Queer’ is a term that cannot be caged. It defies any parochialism, especially in terms of gender and sexual orientation. ‘Queer’ originally means ‘odd’, but also ‘faggot’. Strangelove embraced the term as a badge of honor.
Strangelove not only presents artistic work, but also functions as a creative platform for artists and activists exploring themes such as transgender, man/woman imaging, gender roles, feminism, sexual orientation, sexuality, counter culture and the political and social status of LGBTIQ people.
Additionally Strangelove is a meeting place where queers and anyone interested in the topic is invited to an open dialogue.Strangelove toured various cultural venues in Antwerp in the previous years (Extra City,
‘t Werkhuys, Froefroe Theatre, Zirkus, Carwash Theatre) and is organised this year from June 2nd till 4th in Het Bos in Antwerp.
