From May 11th till 15th, FATSABBACK festival will mark the comeback of Fatsabbats at Atelier 210!
FATSABBATS is a cultural and solidarity platform created in 2019 at the initiative of Mac Coco, by and for the queer POC community in Brussels. This self-managed polymorphic platform has the will to be safer and is imagined by and for the queer and racialized communities and their allies in Brussels.
In 2019 FATSABBATS had a place in Anneessens they lost because of the pandemic. Since then, they have healed their wounds and learned from them. FATSABBATS will return in May 2022 to the Atelier 210 in a different format: nomadic. It will exist under different formats, including this 5-day festival with a selection of concerts, DJ sets, talks, performances, workshops, and screenings.
