Future Kin

ANTI Festival is partnering with Live Art Development Agency (UK), My Wild Flag (Sweden), Rosendal Teater (Norway) and Warehouse9 (Denmark) to create a network dedicated to nurturing queer interdisciplinary performance practice across borders.

Partners will develop collective tools and strategies for supporting marginalised practices through co-learning programmes focused on sustaining queer practice, community, public space and legacy. The network aims to build a transnational model for co-learning and cooperation, grounded in the cultural and political significance of queer performance practice. Across developing, platforming, and archiving queer practice, the network members will share tools for preserving marginalised histories, challenging dominant narratives, and enabling social transformation through cultural programming.

The Future Kin network will gather in Kuopio in the context of the ANTI Festival in September 2026.

Future Kin is funded by Nordic Culture Point.
