VIBEZ! – Creating safe spaces for women

In its fourth edition, the annual event, Hoevember, curated by award-winning artist Lioness, is set to transform Palm Tree Park into a vibrant carnival on Saturday.

Partnering with renowned brands and organisations, the event promises not just entertainment but a commitment to creating a safe space for self-expression.

This year, the theme is ‘Carnival’ setting the stage for a jubilant affair, pulsating with vibrancy and embracing the essence of diversity. 

The organisers have made the festivities accessible to women and the LGBTQI+ community, offering early bird tickets for N$100 through My E Ticket, while gate entry will be priced at N$150. “Hoevember is aimed at creating safe social spaces for women and the queer community.

“We have been doing the event indoors for the past three years, this year we are turning it up a notch by taking it to an outdoor area. It is bigger and better,” said Lioness.

Lioness, renowned for her creative genius, has forged partnerships with esteemed brands such as Jägermeister Namibia, Komnik and Franck, My E Ticket via Namibia Media Holdings, Boheme Digital Marketing & Creative Agency, and the Voices for Choices and Rights Coalition (VCRC). Together, they aim to breathe life into an event that transcends mere entertainment.

Hoevember’s allure lies not only in its stellar lineup but also in its resolute commitment to creating a safe space for self-expression. The stage will be graced by an array of illustrious talents including Nicko Zamalekc, Lorna Mabuku, Berny, Dark Vapour, Khadijah Herungaa, Meno, and Four, promising a musical journey that spans genres and captivates hearts.

In the realm of beats and rhythms, the DJ lineup reads like a who’s who of Namibia’s most sought-after turntable maestros. DJ Alba Nalo, DJ Kiki, DJ Rose, Lotus, and DJ Cam are set to commandeer the soundscape, ensuring that every note reverberates through the carnival spirit, igniting joy and unity among attendees.

Hoevember is not merely an event; it’s a movement, a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of inclusivity, empowerment, and celebration. Amidst the music, fashion, and delectable cuisines that will tantalize the senses, it’s a testament to resilience and a beacon of hope, lighting the way towards a more inclusive and accepting future for all.
