The Festival Gender and performativities discusses contemporary gender issues from the perspective of different artists and languages. In the program, theater, video dance, cinema and poetry discuss various themes related to the feminists and LGBTT agendas, bringing to the agenda the debate about gender normativity and performativity as reproduction or as resistance.

By its affinity with the themes of the V International Congress on Cultural Studies: Gender, Human Rights and activism, the Festival Gender and Performativities enriches its debates with the querying and provocative look of the arts.
