What You See Festival 2025

What You See Festival 2025

What You See is the art festival about gender and identity.

Here you can see work by artists who are rarely or never shown in the Netherlands, uniquely curated programs, unexpected pop-up performances, free exhibitions, and more. But the What You See Festival is above all an invitation to come together — to meet others, to examine your own assumptions and prejudices. Together with artists and audiences, the festival creates a shared quest for a more inclusive society.

Theater Kikker has been the vibrant heart of the festival since its inception. There are also programs at Stadsschouwburg Utrecht, Het Huis Utrecht, Poppodium EKKO, and the Utrecht Library.
