About Sorore Festival
Sorore Festival: Music by Women in Lille
The Sorore Festival was born from the desire of students from Sciences Po Lille and the University of Lille to address a finding: women and gender minorities remain largely under-represented in the music industry, whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in festival lineups. Sorore (from the Latin "sister") aims to be a festive and committed response to this inequality.
A 100% Female and Non-Binary Program
The festival is distinguished by its program exclusively composed of women and non-binary individuals. This strong artistic line allows for the spotlighting of talented artists often invisible in traditional programming. The musical genres represented are varied:
- Electronic and techno music: DJ sets and live performances.
- Pop and indie: concerts and stage performances.
- Hip-hop and rap: MCs and artists from the urban scene.
- Experimental music: sound creations and audiovisual performances.
A Festival Committed Beyond Music
Sorore Festival is not limited to concerts. The program includes:
- Conferences and round tables: discussions on equality issues in the music industry, feminism, and inclusion.
- Creators' market: stalls featuring women entrepreneurs and creators from the Lille metropolitan area.
- Cultural workshops: introductions to music, writing, visual arts, and well-being.
- Artistic performances: dance, visual arts, and installations.
A Student Project Turned Cultural Event
Emerging from student associative engagement, Sorore Festival embodies a new generation of festivals that combine artistic excellence with societal values. Its location at the Bazaar Saint-So, an alternative cultural venue at Gare Saint-Sauveur, makes it an event in tune with Lille's independent cultural scene.
