From 7 October to 9 October 2021 the fifth Festival of Queer and Feminist CultureSmoqua gathers activists and artists from United Kingdom, Greece, Serbia, France, Poland... performances, exhibitions, discussions, workshops, lectures, Queer-UP! Party – these are merely some of the many contents in which you can ‘dive’ into queer and feminism in these three days.

Partners at Smoqua since its beginnings, GSG is bringing us various activities to Rijeka this year:

• Exhibition opening: Deviant Women, on Thursday, October 7^that 7 PM in Delta Lab (address: Delta 5). Greek award-winning cross-disciplinary artist Fenia Kotsopoulou with addresses in UK and Netherlands, and British scholar/artist/activist Aylwyn Walsh explore judgements made on and about women’s bodies when they are seen as deviant or unruly. They stage photographic, film and installation interventions to explore the abject female body, hair and ambiguity. The exhibition is open until 21 October.

Are you ready? :)
