22th International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns
Red Dawns have started with the projectYoung Dawns for Solidarity and Equality !!!The project is co-funded by the European Unions, the ERASMUS+ programme ******************************** 22nd festival Red Dawns
5.3. – 11.3.2021
Online The Red Dawns are inviting you to join us at the 22nd, this time mostly online, edition of the International Feminist and Queer Festival.
Although we can hardly wait for concerts, in person discussions and live dancing, we have nevertheless decided that the fight must go on, albeit from a safe distance. March 8th is our holiday and we see it fit that women* and queer people take their place and present their artistic, intellectual, creative and other undervalued but important work. It is time for our voices to be heard, and for our laughter to spread around the internet as well. Despite the virus, authoritarian repression and persecution of otherness, we are still here. We work, create, care for the community, and cultivate resistance. Our programme this year includes the exhibition To jest wojna // This is War – A Selection of Protest Posters of the All-Polish Women’s Strike, which presents the role of Polish visual artists in the fight against the ban on abortion currently taking place. Once again, in collaboration with spol.si, we will award the dishonorable bodeča neža (thistle) for the most sexist statement made by a public figure in Slovenia. Federico Luz and Danijela Zajc will each present their own performance. Danijela’s performance piece Niti was created in Cirkusarna NaokROG, one of the destroyed premises of the Rog Autonomous Factory. It is impossible to articulate or, at this point, even comprehend what loss was suffered due to the violent and illegal eviction and demolition carried out by the Municipality of Ljubljana. However, we are aware of the power of MOL’s PR machine, so we think it is all the more important to put on a practical demonstration of what had been created in this space. The festival will also feature Ingver and GverilkII with a live online musical performance, and balans, whose musical contributions will complement poetry readings organised in collaboration with the platform IGNOR. The festival will be rounded off with Asja Novak’s lecture Albanian Sworn Virgins and a presentation of the campaign by Inštitut 8. marec to redefine the legal definition of rape based on the “only yes means yes” model. Rdečke are still spreading around, this time online. We are still international, feminist and queer. And we still have a lot to showcase, so expect a strong Red Cycle, live, later in the year!
