Inizio del Festival: 01 settembre 2026      Festival si chiude: 30 settembre 2026

Kapish is a multidisciplinary queer-feminist platform fostering creative practices rooted in intersectional care, erotic resistance, and class consciousness. It is the continuation and merger of two curatorial collectives:

Squish, known for its intimate programming and bold intersectional approach, collaborated with queer artists across disciplines to explore politics of identity, embodiment, and resistance through film nights, workshops, and performances.

Kollection Kitsch focused on democratizing access to the arts, uplifting working-class creators and “bad taste” aesthetics. Through pop-up shows and accessible art exhibitions, it challenged elitist frameworks by celebrating vernacular and camp sensibilities.

Kapish carries forward both legacies—supporting emerging and marginalized artists, hosting community-driven events, and curating exhibitions that balance playfulness with critical reflection. We embrace collaborative curatorial methods, working closely with our contributors and audiences to shape
each project. Our initiatives often blur the lines between activism, art-making, and social gatherings.

Our curatorial vision is grounded in proletarian aesthetics, diasporic heritage, and sensual politics, often centering bodies, craft, and storytelling as acts of refusal and celebration.

Kapish events are known for being accessible, warm, and politically engaged, drawing a diverse crowd of artists, cultural workers, and queer communities in Rotterdam and beyond.
