Visual communication for the queerfilm festival Bremen 2024, including multiple media: program, poster, sticker, ads, website-banner.

Since 2019, the design has featured a different ‘queer’ animal each year, in 2024 the spotted hyena. These animals are selected by the festival’s volunteer team from among the countless species that disprove the belief that fixed binary sexes, male-dominated sexual hierarchies and strict heterosexuality are the one and only ‘natural’ order.

In their own words, “Contrary to preconceptions and stereotypes, spotted hyenas are highly social animals that live in matriarchal structures. Their sexual organs cannot be differentiated at first glance, and they only engage in consensual sex. That is why we are celebrating the spotted hyena as this year’s festival animal!”
