The STERRRN fest, as an intermediate small format of the STERRRN festival, is looking for venues in Graz that are in no way less rich in art and culture than the birthplace of the festival - the Austrian Sculpture Park in Premstätten. Always according to the motto: art in every corner. In 2026, we are delighted to be returning to Schaumbad on June 20th!
Schaumbad – Freies Atelierhaus Graz, founded in 2008, is a space for individual and collective artistic work, creative processes, and interdisciplinary exchange. With over 20 studios, three shared workshops, a film studio, as well as exhibition and event spaces, it provides room for artistic creation and art education. The activities of Schaumbad include the conception, organization, and realization of art projects—such as exhibitions, performances, concerts, film screenings, workshops, and symposia—as well as the publication of artistic works and collaborations with local, national and international colleagues, initiatives, and institutions.

Queer My Pleasure is an ambitious, innovative project from Styria that is revitalising the sex shop industry in Austria. Moving away from objectification and sexualisation: sex and sex shops must finally become more accessible and make room for all those who are left behind in our ableist, heteronormative patriarchy. The Queer My Pleasure concept therefore focuses on breaking down barriers, fostering an open atmosphere, regionality and sustainability, as well as diversity and inclusion. Queer feminism is just as much a priority as product quality and sex positivity. In addition to sex toys, the product range therefore also includes (gender-neutral) menstrual products, books, gender gear, art and accessories. You can find Queer My Pleasure online at queermypleasure.at or at various pop-ups and events throughout Austria.
At the Queer My Pleasure stand, you can get personalised advice from Eli on all matters relating to sex (positivity) – safe & discreet.
The realisation of the festival will be set up under the aspects of ecological sustainability. The Green Event Concept of the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) is used as a guideline for implementation.
If there are not yet all opportunities for full implementation in 2026, work will continue on further developing the sustainability concept for future events organised by Grrrls Kulturverein after the end of the festival.
