Feminist Impact Prize Award Ceremony
The Feministisch Cultuurfonds (FC) Gender&wetenschap will present the Feminist Impact Prize 2026 at Tolhuistuin on 13 December. The Feminist Impact Prize is awarded every two years to a feminist or gender-sensitive cultural work aimed at a broad audience. This could be a book, documentary or film, exhibition, podcast or another form of cultural work that reaches a wider public. FC Gender&wetenschap (Gender & Science) promotes the dissemination of feminist knowledge. The innovative impact of culture is reflected in the more than 80 inspiring submissions received for the FIP, demonstrating the social power of contemporary feminism.
The nominees for the FIP 2026 are:
Aletta de Musical — musical by Theater Oostpool
Enfin, Barbin — theatre production by Marleen Hendrickx
Kijk es naar al dat licht — novel by Alara Adilow
Leve de Feeks — music album by Merol (Merel Baldé)
Wildbloei — cabaret performance by Valentina Tóth
Be surprised and inspired by five captivating cultural works full of bold, unapologetic feminism. Through song, dance, words and music, they break down rigid boundaries and celebrate light, growth, knowledge and beauty. Devika Partiman will host the event. Jury chair Xandra Schutte will announce the winner and explain the reasons behind the decision. Marjorie Boston of Right About Now, winner of the FIP 2024, will present the FIP 2026.
