In this session, author Rike van Kleef (“Billige Plätze”) and moderator Mia Heresch create a Safer Space for cis men who feel overwhelmed, left out, or simply unsure in ongoing conversations about gender equality in the music industry. This is not about blame – it's about connection. In line with the festival’s motto “Imagine Togetherness” and Keychange’s goal to “Work alongside cis men,” the session invites participants to ask anonymous, respectful questions – about gender, queer feminism, FLINTA*, LGBTQIA+, and everything else that often remains unspoken. No cameras. No recordings. No shaming. Just honest exchange in a protected setting. Questions can be submitted in advance via an anonymous tool or asked live during the session. Listening is encouraged – so is reflecting.
