Antwerp Queer Arts Festival
The AQAF is a multidisciplinary arts festival that questions gender and sexual diversity. It combines art with activism and academia. We program both local performers and international talent across a variety of art forms: music, literature, film, dance, theatre, exhibitions, and performances. We work with open calls and have a particular interest in new queer talent. Collaborating with academia and activists, we create a space and platform for people to express themselves and connect with others.
