Antwerp Queer Arts Festival 2026
Über dieses Event
Das Antwerp Queer Arts Festival ist eines der bedeutendsten LGBTQ+-Kulturevents Belgiens — ein zweiwöchiges Programm aus Ausstellungen, Aufführungen, Filmvorführungen und Veranstaltungen in Antwerpens Museen und Kulturorten, parallel zur Antwerp Pride. Das Festival arbeitet sich mit kuratorischem Anspruch durch bildende Kunst, Theater, Tanz, Film und Fotografie zur queeren Identität vor und gehört zu den herausragenden LGBTQ+-Kulturevents in der Benelux-Region. Frühere Ausgaben beteiligten das Museum aan de Stroom (MAS), MoMu, das Königliche Museum der Schönen Künste und verschiedene Galerien. Das Festival spiegelt Antwerpens Position als eine der kulturell ambitioniertesten Städte Europas wider.
