GENDER BENDER FESTIVAL International & Contemporary Issues on Gender AN OVERVIEW 9th edition Bologna, Italy 29th october – 5th november 2011 www.genderbender.it WHAT IS GENDER BENDER Gender Bender Festival presents to the public the contemporary and international imagery related to gender identities, sexual orientations and body representations. Since 2003 Gender Bender Festival has been a yearly international event focussing on gender identity and sexual orientation issues as manifestations of a broader concept of human identity, and as themes for reflection in order to interpret the changes undergone by contemporary society. Gender Bender offers a series of events from performing arts to film screenings, live concerts, visual arts exhibitions, conferences and parties. During the last eight editions, Gender Bender has become a cultural event followed nationally by press, audience and cultural promoters alike. The 2010 edition was attended by 15.000 visitors over 8 days. Gender Bender targets a very well selected audience averaging 30 years of age, curious and interested in contemporary cultural events. The festival takes place every year in Bologna, Italy, and it’s produced by Il Cassero, gay lesbian center.
