20. mednarodni feministični in kvirovski festival Rdeče zore (1.-10.3.2019) vabi:
Sestrstvo* brez meja: Lezbični in kvirovski aktivizem v pojugoslovanskem prostoru: pogovor s predstavitvijo publikacije,
Afkors, Avtonomna tovarna Rog, 7. marec 2019 ob 18h (3. nadstropje, glavna stavba).
V zadnjih letih so v mednarodnem akademskem prostoru izšle publikacije, v katerih je skupina avtoric_jev popisala nekaj kompleksnih izkušenj lezbičnega in kvirovskega aktivizma v pojugoslovanskem prostoru.
Po prvi predstavitvi na festivalu Befem v Beogradu v decebru 2018 bodo tako urednik in dve avtorici tako predstavile_i zadnjo knjigo z naslovom Sestrstvo in enotnost: lezbični aktivizem v pojugoslovanskem prostoru.
Ta knjiga poskuša umestiti festival Rdeče zore v kontekst lokalnega in mednarodnega lezbičnega ter kvirovskega feminističnega aktivizma, obenem pa naslovi še nekatere druge avtonomne feministične lezbične in kvirovske inciative, kot je bila feministično-lezbična skupina Kasandra, in še delujoče Lezbično-feministično univerzo ter Anarhistično-kvirovsko-feministični prostor (Afkors) v Rogu.
V predstavitvi in pogovoru nas bo zanimalo, kakšna so presečišča med izkušnjami lezbičnega in kvirovskega aktivizma v pojugoslovanskem prostoru, kako graditi sestrstvo* preko meja, kako zagotoviti kontinuiteto (če le-ta sploh obstaja), katera so morebitna presečišča med akademskim publiciranjem in prakso samoorganiziranih gibanj ter kako so/ustvarjati regionalne kvirovsko-feministične arhive spomina.
Sodelovale_i bodo Maja Pan, Bojan Bilić in Teja Oblak.

20. International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns (March 1st -10th 2019) is inviting:
Sisterhood* across borders: Lesbian and queer feminist activism in the post-Yugoslav space: Book presentation and debate,
at Afkors, Autonomous Factory Rog, March 7th 2019 at 18.00 (3rd floor, the main building)
In recent years, a number of international academic publications have engaged with the history and politics of lesbian and queer activism in the post-Yugoslav space. After the presentation at the Belgrade Befem festival in December 2018, one of the editors of this and other related volumes, and two activists will introduce the latest book entitled Sisterhood And Unity: Lesbian Activism in the Post-Yugoslav Space.
This book positions the Red Dawns in the context of the local and international lesbian and queer activism and addresses other no less important autonomous feminist lesbian and feminist queer initiatives. One of these is Kasandra which co-initiated the festival but does not exist any more, whereas Lesbian Feminist University or the Anarchist-Queer-Feminist Space (Afkors) at the Autonomous Factory Rog are still alive and kicking.
Presentation will focus on the intersections between experiences of lesbian and queer feminist activism in the post-Yugoslav space, on the strategies of building sister*hood across borders, and the challenges of maintaining continuity (if there is any at all). We may also address the points of contact between academic publishing and practices of self-organised movements and touch upon the questions of co-building regional queer feminist archives.
Presenters: Maja Pan, Bojan Bilić and Teja Oblak.
