Trans, intersex, agender, non-binary and genderfluid artists take centre stage, 13–29 November in Antwerp and Ghent.

This is a curated overview page and not necessarily the official programme of WOEKER 2026. Most events below are organised independently and are separate from the organisers of WOEKER 2026.

Have a question? At the bottom of this page you can start a conversation, ask your question, and read other visitors’ questions and answers. So this page isn’t just informative — it’s a place where the community talks with each other.

WOEKER is an artistic and activist programme around Transgender Awareness Week and Transgender Day of Remembrance, a collaboration between Antwerp Queer Arts Festival and Genderspectrum. The name refers to unbridled growth: like weeds through asphalt, communities blooming where they 'don't belong'. Expect film, stage, an exhibition, quilt workshops and the Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil. This guide shows the programme in Antwerp and Ghent. WOEKER also runs in Leuven and Hasselt: see the Antwerp Queer Arts Festival website for that programme.
