FEMART 11th Edition

FROM REVOLUTION TO EVOLUTION

Save the date!

Burn your fear away! Allow newness, courage and love to be born.
Courage is a prerequisite to overcome fear. We were taught to be silent for too long, and now it is time to dare to speak. We will speak out and burn our fear away bravely and with love at the 11th edition of the FemArt Festival.

On May 15-21, 2023 and every other day, we will speak out on behalf of women whose voices are not heard, and on behalf of girls who dare to dream. We have so much to say through theater shows, panel discussions, exhibitions, conferences, performances, workshops, through songs and dance.
Art and activism are our space of freedom, a space of our life narrative, of our endless curiosity and enchantment. Through our art we speak out our thoughts and beliefs, and through diversity we show who we are. Our ethnic, religious, racial and gender differences, unite around our feminism in yet another edition of FemArt. We want to reclaim what is rightfully ours – a fulfilled life. We will do it now! With courage for liberation.
