Festival seeks to strengthen diversity and cultural production
In addition to the presentations, the organization states that the festival aims to stimulate the creative economy and create spaces for coexistence and dialogue between different audiences.
The expectation is that the first edition will also contribute to consolidate the event in the cultural calendar of Ponta Grossa.
“The Festival is a space for celebration, reception and appreciation of the LGBTQIAPN+ community, strengthening the diversity and cultural production of our city. I want to provide moments of art, exchange and connection, showing that all people have the right to exist and express themselves,” says Ana Júlia Prandel de Oliveira, head of the organization.
It also invites the population to participate in the activities and follow the programming throughout the two days.
The LGBTQIAPN+ Festival is held by AJP Produções Culturais, with the sponsorship of the Ibis Hotel Ponta Grossa, in addition to the support of local institutions and partners and municipal incentive in the areas of culture and tourism.
