OPEN CALL \u2013 QUEEERY ART FEST \ud83c\udf08 XY \u221e<\/span><\/span> X: OLTRE IL BIOLOGICO<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Queeery Art Fest – XY \u221e<\/b><\/span><\/span> X: Oltre il Biologico<\/strong>\u00a0\u00e8 un luogo di esplorazione e confronto collettivo sull\u2019identit\u00e0, sul corpo e sulla molteplicit\u00e0 dei linguaggi espressivi.

            OPEN CALL \u2013 QUEEERY ART FEST \ud83c\udf08 XY \u221e<\/span><\/span> X: BEYOND THE BIOLOGICAL<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

            Queeery Art Fest – XY \u221e X: Beyond the Biological<\/strong>\u00a0is a space for exploration and collective dialogue on identity, the body, and the multiplicity of expressive languages. The initiative was born from the desire to go beyond the constraints of biology, which often define individuals in fixed ways, opening instead spaces of freedom where art becomes a tool for investigation, experimentation, and alternative ways of seeing reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

            In this context, queer is not only a political or aesthetic category: it is a lens through which to observe, transform, and expand creative possibilities. Any project that challenges conventions, reinterprets established codes, or reinvents forms of expression has a place in this call.<\/span><\/p>\n
