Sparkplug is going to kickstart a new era of LGBTQ+ culture in Gothenburg. This week-long festival is made by LGBTQ+ people for LGBTQ+ people. The festival is all about coming together, making together and claiming space together.
LGBTQ+ life in Gothenburg is fractured. We are splintered across lines of class, racialisation, ability, age, sexuality and gender identity. Throughout Sparkplug’s week-long programme we’re going to be putting on a mouth-watering smörgåsbord of workshops, events and screenings produced by and for people from across a broad spectrum of our community.
We need space in this city that is really ours. That’s why throughout the festival’s workshops and activities we will continuously transform the gallery. Day by day we will claim it together.
Sparkplug is the culmination of a year long project, developed and undertaken by Status Queer and its network of leading artists and community builders from Gothenburg and across the Nordic and Baltic regions, The Queer Agenda.
Status Queer is a non-profit determined to build an inclusive and sustainable LGBTQ+ community in Gothenburg by producing exciting and regular LGBTQ+ culture year round. From This is the Queer Bar and Sjukt warehouse parties to performance courses and diversity education in schools to Festivals such as Sparkplug and ENQUEERY:Festival of Queer Curiosity – we’re really about to get them juices flowing. So get ready and let’s break some norms together 🔥🔥🔥
