The first day of the festival is over, and while the music on the camping grounds and First Days stages is booming, there are plenty of opportunities to take a break and engage with significant global issues.
Whether you want to listen to debates on various topics or be inspired by performance and installation art, you can find something that will provoke thought and give you a better understanding of the world we live in.
Next to Flokkr, you will find the artist group Sexualia's installation 'Sex Positive Confession Booth'. It is a challenge against the compartmentalization and stigma in sexual preferences and an attempt to create sex positivity and diversity.
Step into the booth, write down your sexual fantasies – let go and free yourself from shame about sexuality. On Tuesday at 11:00, the installation is accompanied by a short talk about the artwork.
Join when Dutch-American artist Lara Schnitger invites you to a parade focusing on women's lack of equality and safety in a patriarchal society. The performance is named Suffrogate City, and through two workshops, you have the opportunity to create your own "slut-sticks" to take with you in the parade.
