ABOUT THE FESTIVAL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smoqua is a combination of art and activism, serving as a networking platform for art \/activist projects and for creating and strengthening collaboration among diverse audiences.\n\nAs an international festival, Smoqua brings together participants from different countries, and features activities in English. As in its previous instances, visitors have the opportunity to learn about the history and significance of queer and feminism and to question social, gender and other norms and notions of normality and normativity through different workshops, panel discussions, performances, exhibitions, and sharing experiences.\n
The overarching theme of this edition of Smoqua is Norm, Normality, Normativity<\/strong> and all the activities within the Festival are aimed at questioning and deconstructing these notions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoqua is part of the Flagship Kitchen, Rijeka 2020 \u2013 European Capital of Culture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
