Svet podľa Gabriela

The 6th annual festival of transgender culture, dedicated to the memory of the sadly deceased Gabriel Švábenský. The intention of the festival is to spread awareness about the trans community and to draw attention to the plight of transgender people.

Another year has passed, society is boiling, changes have taken place that none of us wanted to imagine. Arrogance of power has become the norm and social bullying of minorities has reached record levels. The ruling establishment is now openly and deliberately attacking the weakest, the LGBTQIA+ community is being demonised, and buckets of filth and misinformation are pouring in from all sides.

I have to admit that I hesitated whether to organize another edition of the festival at all, but I realized that because our society has been stubbornly retreating into darkness for years, it is important not to be discouraged. The festival remains apolitical, but it is impossible not to react to the situation we have got into.

Waldemar Švábenský, organizer of the festival
