PANDAwomen 2025

The PANDAwomen Festival returns – for the eighth time, yet in a completely new format. What began as a small initiative has become a defining element of PANDA platforma: PANDAwomen was the first event after the club's reopening in 2018. Every autumn since, it has celebrated the voices of women and highlighted their role in an arts and culture landscape that remains heavily dominated by men.


In 2025, they are launching a new format: seven mini-festivals that combine to form a cohesive whole. Traditional and experimental contemporary music, performances, readings, artist talks, and film screenings, a diverse supporting program, and culinary surprises await! Each festival Friday is dedicated to a different country: Georgia, Iran, Estonia, Belarus, Yemen, Poland, and Turkey.

Outstanding female artists are coming to Berlin – selected by equally exceptional curators from their respective countries.

PANDAwomen 2025 amplifies the voices of women who are creating new perspectives between their heritage and diaspora – and opens spaces for artistic exchange and empowerment at a time when social dialogue is becoming increasingly difficult.
