A day and night of thought and pleasure. Karmaklubb* is back in Bergen with a full day of queerness and joy — food for body and soul, spectacular performances, all culminating in a club night. A lot of Drag. Anchored in the local scene, we also bring along some of our family in Oslo, not to mention a lot of neon. Please join us all for a celebration now that we finally can! Where: The golden line of 1) Bergen Kunsthall 2) KODE 4, Tårnsalen 3) Landmark. All day: Special selection of queer wine by the glass at Landmark!
