Fluid Identity 2.0 Festival

In the organizer's words:

"Nothing for us, without us!" Hanover's first community-based art and culture festival "Fluid Identity 2.0": Nothing that is done for us should happen without our participation! With this in mind, the festival was launched in November 2023 as a multi-month participatory festival in which Hanover and the social, cultural and artistic diversity of Hanover were to be the main act!

People of all ages from marginalized groups were given the opportunity to artistically engage and empower themselves in many participatory and co-creative workshops on the topics of identity, belonging and art. They were guided, accompanied and inspired by art and cultural actors from Hanover's cultural scene, in particular artists, dancers, musicians, writers with black, queer and post-migrant artistic perspectives. Together with the diverse, migrant and diasporic communities, a lively, vibrant and multifaceted festival program was developed: with music, literature, theater, dance, talks, exhibitions, workshops, community hangouts, networking, empowerment and much more!

The "Fluid Identity 2.0 Festival" invites you to a showcase on October 5, 2024. How have our artistic and cultural explorations around questions of identity and belonging evolved? How fluid and changeable are our identities, beyond normative social standards? What empowerment have we and our fellow campaigners experienced?

The festival day at the Pavillon cultural center sees itself as a place to meet and create together. It also invites artists and people interested in culture to take part in the open stage and workshops and to become visible with their own ideas and performances.

Join us and experience a day full of creativity, exchange and shared joy as we explore new identities together and find our own paths!
