25th International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns – Rdeče Zore – March 2024, ACC Metelkova mesto, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Presentation of the calendar of a feminist group Vstajniške socialne delavke (Revolting Women Social Workers): I Want My Part Of The History!

We want our part of the history. The 8th of March is not enough: we want visibility and subversion every single day. In January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December. We do not want to count the years after a randomly selected martry of the chatolic church – we should count the years after all the witches that were burned, after all the political prisoners and after all the women that are forced to live in big asylums, struggling for survival. Our aim is to not glorify the landmarks of patriarchal history, but rather to unveil the silenced, lost and erased herstory. We want to remember all the inivisible heroines. Every day. To know their names, events and how women’s transgressive, rebellious bodies have been (and still are) sistematically criminalized. With these hidden stories of power we wish to contaminate the conversations, walls and streets untill the buildings, windows, curtains, roads are filled with such insurgent force that they will start to scream. Then, we will all scream together.

We do not wish to decorate the walls. We prefer to demolish them, tear them down and burn them. All of them. Breaking your gender roles. We are not static, nice, smiling, silent, tamed. We fight back the violent forces conquering our bodies and we take our power back. When our bodies are placed in front of the camera, they become subjects, speaking, roaring loudly. They become unpleasant, active, rude, articulated. Our bodies are always a source of articulation. They question their representation and subvert it. The photographs, presented in the calendar, visualize the violence we are subjected to on a daily basis. Violence – patriarchal, state, systemic, capitalist. When it becomes visible, we can organize and fight it easier. We want our anger to spill from the two-dimensional into space and time and fill it completely – untill we are free.

The presentation will be done in the form of a performance/recital that will explore the ideas behind the photos of the calendar. Afterwards, we invite everyone to participate in an informal debate – or a common screaming-session.

Free Entrance.
