The XIX edition of Feministaldia and the XVII Festival Dives will be held on 20, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 14 December in Donostia-San Sebastián and Vitoria-Gasteiz. The two festivals have been twinned this year and will celebrate the day under the motto “Agur eta ciao”. “I greet and ciao is the hug you give to the other when you meet, and when you leave it is also what you give him,” the organization explains.

About 40 artists, activists, thinkers and collectives will take part in a conference that will feature lectures, talks, recitals, conferences, appearances, performances, DJ series and a party. Cooperation with Azala, Tabakalera and the Kontadores centres has been maintained this year, and a new one has been launched: With the ZAS space of Vitoria-Gasteiz, as a result of the brotherhood that has been realized with the festival Dives.

Talk about queer and decolonial resistance in Palestine by the hand of its members

On 20 November will begin with the reading, colloquium and recital that will take place in the bar Le Bukowski in Egia, and will continue on the 27th day with the Bollotopaketak of Euskal Herria and Mefsst collectives in the youth center Kontadores. In the same place, on the 28th, the organizers emphasized that they will offer a talk about queer and decolonial resurrection in the genocide in Palestine, conducted by two activists from Palestine Diversity in Palestinian Society. In addition, the two activists from Morocco Erreddad and Usmen Morocco will offer a talk about the queer movement taking place in Morocco.

On Friday, 29 November, the day will be transferred to Tabakalera, with the participation of four thinkers and writers. The Saturday will be a formal gala, like the previous edition, directed by the collective Las Nenas. The programme will run from 16.00 to 22.00 and the Donostia section will be closed with the performances of LaMia Mari, Lina Pary and Elena Barker DJ. Feministaldia has called to be attentive to the networks of access to the festival, and will also be announced at the festival itself. On December 14 the day will end in the ZAS space of Vitoria-Gasteiz, with an all-day program organized in collaboration with the XVII edition of the festival Dives.
