After a long experience at Muziekpublique, her objective is to make the Festival d'Art more dynamic, younger and more feminine, while promoting Belgian artists in the field of traditional, world and folk music, linked to heritage and with an acoustic aesthetic.
Mac Kam, polymorph, non-binary, non-white, non-hetero cisgender artivist, is at the helm of Ladyfest BXL, thanks to a venture that began in 2018. In addition to her involvement, she is working on an activist documentary with her colleagues from Games Ovaires, entitled "Fxmmes Fxtales", which explores feminist artivism in the arts and culture in Brussels. It promises to be an exciting initiative.

Workshop "Gender Violence"
led by
"Gender Violence : blind spots & responsibilities"
Objective: To develop concrete elements for the design of a toolbox to promote the involvement of men and to make it visible in the party scene.
For this workshop we are bringing together actors from the music sector and experts in gender or in the social sector. The different professional staff of the party scene will be represented in order to have the broadest possible vision of the actions and tools to be developed. The group will be made up of about twenty people with profiles such as venue manager, federation coordinator, technical manager, bar manager, security officer, expert in the deconstruction of masculinity, expert in gender issues, social worker, etc.
We would like that each category of worker is represented by: 1 cisgender man + 1 cisgender woman or LGBTQIA+ person.
Liminal aims to provide a space where individuals and men in particular can work on deconstructing the layers of patriarchal conditioning in their lives. We do this by teaching about patriarchy and its effect on identity, relationships and behaviour, as well as providing opportunities for individuals to experience personal growth and pursue authenticity.
Meet the trainers !

Currently pursuing a master's in gender studies, he is dedicated to advancing research on deconstruction and masculinity.
Michiel van der Padt holds a degree in Religious Studies from the University of Amsterdam and has been working on gender equality and masculinity since 2019. He has worked with several Dutch and Belgian organisations in raising awareness around gender equality, and specifically how (cis)men can be better allies to the feminist cause.

How do they manage their members' rights? How to protect one's creations? What financial assistance is available? All the answers to your questions as a performer or creator are here!
