Gender Bender is a multidisciplinary festival and offers a series of events ranging from film showings, to theatrical productions and dance performances, visual arts exhibitions, installation, round tables and conferences, live concerts and performances by musicians and djs, and clubbing events. It is a real model of how differences can give a contribution to the construction of a more rich and welcoming society from the human, social and cultural point of view.
Gender Bender is produced by Il Cassero LGBTI+ Centre in Bologna with the artistic direction of Daniele Del Pozzo and Mauro Meneghelli. The festival is part of Bologna Estate 2024, the program of activities promoted and coordinated by the Municipality and the Metropolitan City of Bologna - Territory Tourism Bologna-Modena.
