We are proud to present the fifth edition of Gender Bender, the first festival of its kind in India that showcases new works of art around gender, as concept, discourse, construct, and as art itself, creating a space for gender with artists and audiences alike.The festival aims to contribute to the ever-evolving understanding of gender and its implications, to help produce works that re-examine and re-imagine the concept.
Gender Bender is a joint project of the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan and Sandbox Collective. Gender Bender is conceived, conceptualised, and curated by Sandbox Collective.
This year we recieved over 200 grantee applications. The chosen 10 will showcase their projects in Bangalore at the Gender Bender Festival between August 21 and 24, 2019. The Festival will also host a number of curated events and exhibitions, with a series of discussions featuring filmmakers and writers, performances by a stand-up comedian and a male belly dancer.
