48h BODYLOVE: Ausstellung & Live Bodypositivity Festival von dein körper ist genug

In the organizer's words:

WHAT IF EVERY BODY WAS ENOUGH?

What if we stopped hiding, comparing and feeling insecure? For 48 hours, we celebrate the diversity, beauty and strength of all bodies - real, undisguised and imperfect.

ABOUT YOUR BODY IS ENOUGH

dein körper ist genug, led by Berlin-based photographer and activist Caro Gugu, is a new body positivity movement for which over 300 people have gone naked - both mentally and physically - since 2019. In cooperation with 15 other photographers across Germany, the project makes real bodies visible, creating safe spaces for all shapes, colors and life stories. your body is enough challenges social beauty norms, changes viewing habits and sends a clear signal for togetherness and diversity. Here are #allbodieswelcome, because this place has no room for hatred against body shapes, gender, sexuality, age, skin or hair color, illness or disability. We are all enough - right now, right here.

• Bodylove Circle: 12:00 - 14:30

Join Caro Gugu and Lio Brix at the Bodylove Circle. Think of it as a safe space for anyone who is or has been affected by body shaming. We make ourselves comfortable on the warm, colorful carpet of the runway. This is a space where we can listen to each other, share honestly and be completely free from judgment. There is absolutely no pressure to speak - you are just as welcome if you just want to listen.

Our aim is to gently shift our perspective on our own and other bodies. Caro and Lio will lead the circle with small, accessible exercises for each body to help us connect with ourselves and each other. This is a safe space that allows you to share your experiences and find strength in each other's empowerment. You are not alone. You are enough.

Please note: To ensure a private and safe atmosphere, the main exhibition is closed to other visitors during the Bodylove Circle.
