Ballroom Weekender

17H30 - 19H30 : Vernissage Behind the Lens by Luna 007 and Kira Louboutin Step into the vibrant, raw, and empowering world of European Ballroom culture through the eyes of two of its most dedicated visual archivists. "Behind The Lens" brings together the compelling work of Luna 007 (Germany) and Kira Louboutin (France), offering an intimate celebration of community, identity, and artistic expression on and off the runway. Beyond the flashing lights and fierce battles on the floor, Luna and Kira capture the unspoken moments—the quiet vulnerability backstage, the craftsmanship of garment-making, and the deep bonds of chosen family. While Luna’s work delves into the emotional nuance and community roots of the German scene, Kira Louboutin’s lens brings a dynamic, high-fashion narrative straight from the heart of Paris. Join us for the vernissage to celebrate the launch of this collaborative exhibition, featuring an opening night filled with immersive visuals, music, and an exclusive gathering of the Ballroom community and art lovers alike. 19H45 - 22H15 : Movie night - Ballroom Stick around right after the vernissage for an exclusive Ballroom Movie Night!
