Brigitte’s Planet B

During WOEKER, a new multidisciplinary platform for trans*, intersex, agender, non-binary and genderfluid artists, and on the occasion of Trans Awareness Week, we are screening BRIGITTE’S PLANET B.

This documentary follows transgender ecologist Brigitte Baptiste, whose groundbreaking research and alternative discourse have challenged scientific and social conventions for years, eroding prejudice, building bridges, and inspiring change. Through observational footage, rare archival material, and digital animation, the film weaves an intimate soliloquy and a nuanced portrait of an extraordinary character whose refreshing arguments about life, family, and current affairs may rekindle our hope for our planet’s future.

WOEKER spreads from November 13th to 29th throughout Antwerp, Ghent, Leuven and Hasselt. An initiative of Genderspectrum and Antwerp Queer Arts Festival, made possible by a great many artists, organisations, cultural partners and community networks.

In the context of WOEKER, we are also screening a short film programme about trans* and queer lives on November 15.
