Sluuur

*En brusseleir, Sluur (met twee U’s) is une insulte machiste which refers to a vrouw - bonne à rien, ugly, stupid or slet. 

On April 11, the first edition of Sluuur festival takes place in Brussels! 

📢 Lineup and additional information available in December, so get ready and save the date!

During one day and night, all the sluurs and their friends will gather at Les Halles de Schaerbeek to shout, dance like crazy, and sweat buckets. 

Sluuur is a new festival that draws on punk feminist scenes, artists, and communities, both old and new, established and emerging. It's a gamble to sketch out the outlines and leave the field open to the energies present. Let's do it ourselves!

Come listen to some angry sounds and participate in a bustling and sizzling radio show. Come and discover a photo exhibition, visual creations, fanzines, and lots of other DIY experiments. Come and talk, shout, dance, and meet people. Come and (re)discover the history of punk and write its (NO) future. Come and take part in an energetic festival! Just come!

From 3:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. 

🦷 A talk with Vivien Goldman (British journalist and music writer, punk specialist) and Chardine Taylor-Stone (British feminist activist, writer, and musician)
