Mama Cash Feminist Festival x Infinite Kiki Function
Kick-off the Mama Cash Feminist Festival with the Kiki House of Angels and the Kiki House of Major at the Infinite Kiki Function in WORM, Rotterdam!
“Each one of us contains a multitude of personality traits, desires, and expressions. The most interesting ones are the ones that are seemingly contradicting. Sometimes we’re active and present. Other times we’re shy and reserved. We can be masculine, femine, androgynous, something else entirely. We constantly shift who we are, and what might feel good for us. At the Infinite Kiki Function, we’re embracing all the parts of ourselves. We wanna see how you twist, mix, and fuck a category. Step a little outside of your comfort zone. So who are you gonna be tonight? Here, the possibilities are infinite.”
When: Saturday March 7th, 6:30pm-11pm Where: WORM, Rotterdam Note: a “passe-partout” ticket gives you access to both this event and the Mama Cash Feminist Festival x WORM Rotterdam on March 8th!
