t.me/balkanbound🎭 About the Festival
BalkanBound is an international shibari festival that brings together artists, performers, and rope enthusiasts from across Europe. It's a two-day celebration of rope art, connection, and performance — combining aesthetics, intimacy, and expression through the language of kinbaku.
Founded in spring 2025, BalkanBound has quickly become one of the most notable rope-art events in the region, attracting a large and passionate audience from multiple countries. Our goal is to make Belgrade a central meeting point for the Balkan rope scene — a space where art, sensuality, and community intertwine.
🌿 Mission & Values
Our mission is to create a safe, inspiring, and inclusive space where people can explore the artistic and emotional depth of shibari. We aim to bridge cultures, connect communities, and bring together those who see rope not just as a technique — but as a dialogue between bodies, trust, and emotion.
Our values:
Consent & respect — every interaction is grounded in trust and communication.
Art & authenticity — we honor both the Japanese roots of kinbaku and its contemporary, creative evolution.
Inclusivity & diversity — our stage and community welcome people of all genders, orientations, and backgrounds.
Connection & curiosity — rope is about listening, feeling, and discovering together.
Aesthetics & atmosphere — we believe in the beauty of presence, light, and emotion captured through art.
