Psst...
is wonderfully written, designed and distributed by Tea from Spodnja Idrija, Slovenia.
Tea reports for example from the Biketour to the summer youth festival Ecotopia
and covers political and personal issues, but she also is dealing with the many
aspects of gender identity and ambiguity. Amazing Tea is one of the organizers
of Rdece
Zore RED SUNRISES III - International Women's Festival 2002! Her
zines are wonderful, thoughtful pieces. I enjoy reading her zines so much, especially
because she is able to transport so much in a few pages... A must, particularly
for the Europeans around! And check the festivals in Slovenia! In short, I love
Teas writing! e-mail: tea.hvala [AT] radiostudent.si |

anarchist reading room: "Elf’s reading room is a resource centre for
people interested in radical social change. It’s a place where people can
get in touch with the abundance of radical, revolutionary, anti-authoritarian
and libertarian thought and practice in the form of books, comics, fanzines and
magazines, video and audio materials. We also organize regular video showings,
lectures, debates, presentations and other events. At Elf’s reading room
people can meet and discuss, read books or take them home. It is our intention
to support direct action initiatives, study groups or individuals, and movements
working towards an anti-authoritarian, non-dominating, ecological society, based
on mutual aid and solidarity." http://www.ljudmila.org/anarhiv/ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stripburger | COMICS
ZINE/COLLECTIVE: "In October '92 the first number of Stripburger, fanzine
covering comics, graphics and photos was published by STRIP CORE. In December
1993 followed next double issue following a concept of underground comic magazine.Stripburger
is still the only Slovene comic magazine covering news in comics, theories on
comics and works of Slovene and foreign comic authors (there have been 30 numbers
released yet). As a part of activities of Stripburger there have been held various
comic exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad. In the past years Stripburger has had
a large influence on changing attitude towards comic art in Slovenia. It has become
an important source for what’s going on in comic scene abroad, especially
in Europe, for Slovene comic fans and for foreign followers of comic art a source
for what’s happening on Slovene comic scene. Stripburger has encouraged
many Slovene comic artists to continue to produce comics and work on developing
their style. " http://www.ljudmila.org/stripcore/com.htm | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Rdece
Zore March 7th to 9th, 2002 in Ljubljana (Slovenia) | "Rdece
zore festival was launched for the first time by the cultural center Metelkova
mesto in year 2000. This third time, the festival is also taking place at Metelkova
mesto in Ljubljana (Slovenia), from March 7th to 9th, 2002. (...) Festival Rdece zore annually presents autochthonous women's production of Metelkova mesto and moreover, invites women artists from abroad (mainly from ex-Yugoslavian and Eastern-European countries as we see the need to continue our long-lasting and fruitful co-operation in spite all the economic, political and cultural changes of the last decade) to recognise eachother's creative work. We tend to support women who are actively voicing their politics, opinions, feelings through any media and we especially support women who are expressing their creativity through self-organized and self-managed ways, capturing the do-it-yourself ethic of constructive rebellion against capitalist consumption of our voices. The basic idea of the festival is to unite the strength of all women activists and artists and more, to demonstrate the possibility of a festival that is produced, organised and performed by women - for anyone interested. The title and motto Rdece zore is taken from a children's story about a rebellish partisan girl, called Rdeca Zora for her beautiful red hair. We find our contributing artists' and activists' work subversively beautiful in their daring and genuine questioning of supposed natural and social determinants of women's femininity and supposed men's masculinity as well as their dealing with 'classic' feminist issue of women's rights. However, the title Rdece Zore carries a double meaning: in Slovenian language it also means 'red sunrises' which can be as well understood as a hope for changing women's situation and changing the world!" http://www.ljudmila.org/metelko/rdece/ |

| Bread&Roses (Zagreb) | A
Croatian feminist journal which features articles and essays on feminism. "Since
1994 Ženska infoteka publishes the magazine Kruh i ruže (Bread &
Roses) in order to bring knowledge, experiences, new theoretical prospectives
to the thousands of women who we do not know and have never seen, yet this being
the most efficient way to reach as many people as we can - we consider this an
extremely exciting aspect of our work. With our magazine we try to develop awareness
of existing gender inequality and help to women researchers, activist and people
in general in giving them arguments and space for creative and/or political work.
By conducting and presenting reasearches and translating many articles we are
transfering important knowledge on women issues to our readers. In the magazine
we covered many topics such as women and language, feminism and democracy, electronic
comunication and new technologies, women and art, women's human rights - "Dossier
Beijing", lesbianism, women and politics, women and psychoanalysis and some
others. We also initiated some researches conducted by experts and students and
published the results in the magazine. The magazine is also an independent forum
for discussion, exchange and distribution of relevant information concerning women
throughout Eastern European countries in transition. Each article has an extensive
summary in English language. You can subscribe to the first Croatian feminist quarterly Bread & Roses (33 USD for 4 issues) by sending us an e-mail (zinfo [@] zamir.net) including your name and address; we will then send you an invoice."

Women Activists "MOTRAT QIRIAZI" (Has, Kosova) |
"The
two sisters Qiriazi, were the founders of the first school for girls in Albania
over 100 years ago. Our group has chosen their name in recognition of their work
and because the goal they dedicated themselves to - the education of women and
girls - is still important today. (...) Our core strategy is to create and maintain
weekly meetings in villages. These provide a forum where women and girls gather
to exchange ideas and where they can begin to examine the parameters of their
lives. (...) The meetings contain self esteem building elements and educational
components, through them women and girls together develop sub-projects to benefit
the whole community." "For more information: We would love to have contact with you by email especially if you have examples of woman changing their lives and their communities, in similar projects around the world." e-mail: I.Rogova [AT] zana-pr.ztn.apc.org |
