TENDRESSE

With TENDRESSE , FATSABBATS rounds off their triptych at the Kaaistudio's. For two days and nights, they pay tribute to tenderness.  

"How does tenderness express itself? What forms does it take? 
Why are we so often embarrassed about it? 
Let us put our feelings, senses and emotions back at the centre. 
Showing our tenderness. 
Fatsabbats proposes an installation of collective care. 
Let's try to be receptive." 

• Fatsabbats is a multi-faceted self-managed platform that aims to create 'safer spaces' with and for Brussels queer and racialised communities. Through concerts, performances, exhibitions and memorable sweaty nights, the broad know-how of these communities is made visible, shared and honoured. This is the third and final part of the cycle following TOTEM and TABOU.
