#savewholefestival

WHOLE Festival acts like a summit, bringing queer collectives from all over the world together for a weekend of art, music, workshops, performances, panels & more. We all want to belong. We all want to be accepted for who we truly are. We are freer and more creative than we think. Together we can begin to transform our consciousness, allowing us to question existing realities and create new ones.

We are a family of weavers, great dreamers and lost souls. The tender in healing. A chaotic equilibrium. Balanced upon the right to tell our own stories.

Through collective action we strive to be an example for generations to come. A place where we learn to radically accept ourselves and exist without anxiety or fear. WHOLE Festival is one of the very few queer camping festivals in the world. Losing this supportive space would be a major loss for our community, impacting the collectives who’ve dedicated countless hours to its development, and the artists & audience members that rely on it. Help us hold onto this little piece of paradise.

Even without hosting this year’s event, we have already incurred production costs that can’t be recovered. We also want to pay our team members & local Berlin collectives who have worked hard all year in the preparations of the festival, who have lost all work for an indeterminate period of time.

We are refunding all tickets for the 2020 edition, while asking ticket holders to support us by donating a part of their ticket price, should they be in the position to do so. Those donations will also support this campaign.

Should your generosity exceed our goal, the extra funds will be divided the following way:
10% To be voted on by you, our community, via online poll
10% Berlin Collective Action: Nightlife Emergency Fund
40% To be divided equally between all collectives that were to be a part of this year’s festival. The livelihood of nightlife workers everywhere has taken a strong hit during this pandemic.
40% Preliminary funding for the next edition of WHOLE
