The Les Créatives FESTIVAL is a multidisciplinary event dedicated to artistic creations and intellectual reflections by women and gender minorities. Founded with the aim of promoting gender equality in the arts and culture, the festival is held every year in November in Geneva and offers a rich programme including concerts, plays, performances, screenings, exhibitions and round tables.

The Les Créatives Festival stands out for its committed approach and its desire to forge meaningful links between artistic proposals and societal issues.
Context :
Created in 2005 with the ambition of raising the profile of women in arts and culture, the Les Créatives Festival continues to embody this conviction in 2025. It does not merely celebrate gender equality, it demands it, defends it and places it at the heart of its commitment. Over the years, the Les Créatives Festival has established itself as an unmissable event, a crossroads where plurality, audacity and strength meet. A place where culture is invented as a lever for emancipation. A space of visibility for all those whom history relegates to the shadows.

2025 Program :
For this 21st edition, we are continuing this collective adventure, proclaiming our boundless desire for friendship alongside Hélène Giannecchini. She will join alex~tamécylia, Selim-a Atallah Chettaoui and Joëlle Sambi for a discussion on chosen families and friendships as spaces for love and political struggle. Together, we will build fairer worlds during meetings with Sophie Lewis, Victoire Tuaillon, Flore Benguigui, Anna Mouglalis, Marine Turchi and Camille Morineau. As always, we will explore different artistic expressions. Music with DRAGA, Oklou, Sirens of Lesbos, aja monet, Chilla, Moonchild Sanelly and Nnavy. Illustration with the collective La bûche, Emma Serafin, and Fanny Modena. Theatre and literature with Diane Muller, Chloé Delaume, Alice Zeniter, and Kitsch Comedy. Finally, celebration with Surusinghe, Tash LC, the Pink Juicy Club, and La Rata. And so many others.

A 21st edition suspended in time and yet so rooted in reality. At the time of writing, Switzerland has recorded no fewer than 25 femicides in 2025. We therefore reaffirm our commitment to the fight against gender-based and sexual violence alongside the Canton and City of Geneva, by fully participating in the 25 November and Objectif zéro sexisme dans ma ville (Zero Sexism in My City) campaigns.
