‘Sapfo Fest’ is an independent community-initiated festival in the Baltics dedicated to LBTQI community. A community-led festival, the ‘Sapfo Fest’ seeks to empower LBTQI people and combat prejudice and discrimination, as well as to increase the visibility of LBTQI individuals in Lithuania.

Whereas the visibility of gay men in Lithuania has been growing steadily and quite a few male artists and entertainers ‘have come out’ publicly, women’s community remains largely ignored and marginalized. Therefore there is a great need for the festival to become a reality. The ‘Sapfo Fest’ will take a closer look at ‘identity’ questions as the main theme of the festival through lectures and workshops as well as the LGBTQI art. In addition, with its diverse educational program – from Soviet mental institutions for lesbians to today‘s trans* rights – the ‘Sapfo Fest’ hopes to create a learning, sharing, and appreciative space for everybody.
