What is this project all about?
The Dyke* Festival Berlin is a lesbian* multi-disciplinary event designed to celebrate dyke* –that is: lesbian*, queer, flinta*– subculture in all its diversity.
Our plan: summoning lesbian genius in Berlin and letting it work its wonders for one glorious week-end!
By bringing together the crème de la crème of dyke* artists, authors, activists and thinkers from Berlin, Paris, Europe and beyond, we want to showcase the scope of possibilities lesbian creativity has to offer.
The festival will take place between September 23rd and 24th on Campus Kippe, an open air area located right next to the S-Bahn station Betriebsbahnhof Rummelsburg.
The programme will include concerts, performances, panels, film screenings, DIY workshops, a makers market and if you're good... a *real hot* closing party!
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
The Dyke* Festival is the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and celebrate the rich history and culture of lesbianism.
From live music and dance performances to thought-provoking discussions and workshops, there's something for everyone at the Dyke* Festival. Whether you're a seasoned activist or simply curious about lesbian culture, you'll find plenty to inspire and engage you.
Why would you support this project?
Well: it's a first! Can you believe it?! By contributing to this project, you are helping set up Berlin’s first multi-disciplinary festival by and for dykes*.
And by doing so, you are securing access to the festival in advance!

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
All members of Allesbien, the collective behind the festival, are working on a volunteer basis. Every cent we receive will be invested directly in the festival (on-location costs, workshop materials, merch production, printing costs, fair rates for artists and guests...).
If all costs are covered, we will use the extra funds to organise our next events and make the Dyke* Festival live all year long!
Who are the people behind the project?
We are Allesbien, a lesbian collective founded in Berlin in 2022.
Most of us are French, Franco-German and francophone. This doesn’t mean our events only target the French-speaking lesbian crowd –on the contrary! We communicate in English, French and German.
What we all have in common is our lesbianism –and the desire to meet other lesbians, to gather the broader lesbian community in Berlin and elsewhere around cultural and political events that celebrate dyke* culture in its many forms (workshops, cultural outings, film screenings, discussions, protests, parties…).
Last, but not least: our collective welcomes any Flinta* who recognises themselves in the words “lesbian” and “dyke*”. Terfs do not belong in our collective and our festival.
