Poster for this year's theme 50 Shades of Bear. Affiche du thème de cette année 50 nuances de Bear. Affiche voor het thema 50 Shades of Bear van dit jaar.

This year, the theme of Belgium Bearpride is:

50 shades of bears

And it has nothing to do with the content of E. L. James’ work 🤔

Through this theme, we want each person to recognize themselves in a bear silhouette.

You will discover the conclusion of a reflection that embraces the magnificence of everyone’s diversity through these silhouettes, culminating in the beauty that lies in the unity of the community.
