gFest Gurugram will showcase a range of artworks, including films, performances, mixed media installations, digital art, an interactive site and photography. While each work and artist featured represents an individual voice and expression, the Festival will highlight interconnected themes that explore gender, body politics, identity, sexuality, power, stereotypes, discrimination, exclusion, violence and labour. 

In addition to the art exhibits, the festival will also feature special events like live performances, talks on themes emerging from the works, and film screenings.
