2.Dh5 Festival - Utrecht 2026

Transforming masculinities as antidote against an increasingly violent world

Location Expo (Moira)

Wolvenstraat 10
Utrecht

In this workshop, several people and groups (including Patriarkraakt
and Emancipator) come together who work on transforming masculinity
norms leading to all kinds of harmful behavior like gender inequality,
boundary crossing behavior and fascism. We host an interactive
conversation on how transforming masculinities helps preventing
violent behaviors and politics, and how it offers hope in a darkening
world.

When people who have internalized harmful masculinity start talking
and changing together, they get to blossom, their environment becomes
safer and more pleasant for women, queer people and other men, and
they get less attracted to violent, domination praxis and politics
(including fascism). So how does this work work exactly? What change
do people see? What conclusion can we draw from that on a political
level? And how do we involve more people who've internalized
masculinity in such change? Come hear and share about these things in
this workshop that surely give you some hope in dark times. The
session is open to anyone but, as always, we especially invite cis men
to work on themselves through these sessions.
