You are cordially invited to the QUEERFILMFEST CELEBRATION with @queerfemparty_kassel at the @caricaturabar as part of the opening of the Queerfilmfest. We start with a queer bar evening, which turns into a party. We create a space where you can experience joy and community. Musically, there will be Latino music by La NenaSabel at 10:00 PM, followed by Pop/Hyperpop by DJ Finni and fast dance music by DJ Different Dieter as a finale. You can try things out and be who you are. Look at each other and see if you can handle the drink prices with solidarity. It should be a space by us for us, for all people who have too little space in the dominant culture. Please note: If it gets too full, there will be a stop at the entrance. The awareness person will first be in the cinema and then at the party. Come by – we look forward to seeing you!

Two of the oldest artists of the association meet; the curators present Hildegard Jaekel with the earth images from her middle creative period, characterized by formal consistency and subtle color usage; Johannes Schönert shows wooden sculptures that incorporate the space with an extremely reduced artistic language and balanced composition.
