  • SLIT, a Lisbon festival showcasing queer, trans and non-binary artists, is launching in May. Short for Lisbon Interdisciplinary and Transgressive Sessions, SLIT will run from May 19th through 21st. It'll be split into day and night sections, with cultural workspace Arrepio hosting a marketplace selling art, jewellery, clothes, haircuts and tattoos during the day, before the action moves to LAV - Lisboa ao Vivo for the musical programme. Highlights include TAAHLIAH, River Moon, SWARMM, Goth Jafar, Ecstasya, Milian Dolla, BABYNYMPH777, Coucou Chloe and MISFYA. More names are still TBA. In a bid to platform upcoming talent, SLIT is taking open submissions for new artists. If you're a DJ, live act, performer, visual artist, volunteer or want to sell your work at one of the market stalls, apply directly to appear at this year's festival. Find out more via Instagram.
