psst... (some in Slovene, most in English) |
Psst...was wonderfully written, designed and distributed by Tea from Spodnja Idrija, Slovenia.
Tea reported for example from the Biketour to the summer youth festival Ecotopia
and covered political and personal issues, but she also dealt with the many
aspects of gender identity and ambiguity. Amazing Tea is one of the organizers
of Rdece
Zore / RED Dawns International Women's Festival! Even though she no longer does this zine, I must say her
zines are wonderful, thoughtful pieces. I enjoy reading her zines so much, especially
because she was 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! rdece zore /red dawns 2008 program: http://www.kudmreza.org/rdece/2008/ 2009 call for submissions: http://www.kudmreza.org/rdece/ Tea's email: tea.hvala [AT] radiostudent.si blog: http://www.rdecezore.blogspot.com/ (updated 23/7/2008) |

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.stripburger.org/ (updated 23/7/2008) |

Red Dawns Herstory"The initiative for women’s festival Red Dawns began in 2000 in the Autonomous Cultural Centre Metelkova mesto in Ljubljana, Slovenia. A small group of women – members of associations KUD Mreža, ŠKUC-LL, Monokel and the no longer existing Women’s Centre and Kasandra – questioned the position of women in the tangled mesh of art, culture, politics, activism and everyday life. In Metelkova mesto, like elsewhere, the larger part of creative and organizational yet invisible work was done by women. Women were keeping Metelkova mesto alive and lively. We decided to organize a women festival on March 8th, the International Women’s Day, to celebrate our lives and redefine public space in order to make it accessible for creativity and socializing of women on our own terms: in an non-hierarchical, non-exploitational and anti-capitalistic manner. We have not searched for “the essence” of Woman. The feminist struggles of the past have proved that attempts at defining women by our sex or even by our common features of character are misleading: they worry about metaphysics of “femininity” and “masculinity” instead of dealing with the reality of every-day hatred, disrespect and exploitation of women – and men. Festival Red Dawns does not advocate a further polarization of genders or “war of the sexes”. Instead, the creativity and the mingling of the participants of Red Dawns question the boundaries we take for granted; the isolating boundaries that separate people regardless of our gender. The first edition of festival Red Dawns presented artists and activists working in AKC Metelkova mesto. In 2001, it connected with political allies from the Balkans and Central European neighbourhood. The assembly of low-budget and voluntary periphery travelled from Metelkova mesto to other locations – MC Podlaga (Sežana), Pekarna (Maribor) and Mostovna (Nova Gorica) – thereby considerably widening the circle of contributors. Since then, many individuals and other associations have joined and continue to support Red Dawns: Alkatraz Gallery, KUD Anarhiv, Radio Student, DZAC, CrossConversationCut, kamera REVOLTA, Cinema iNVISIBLE, feminist debate club of Faculty for Social Sciences, Teater Gromki, MKC Koper, MIKK Murska Sobota and the jugglers' collective of Menza pri koritu. Even though the groups differ greatly in their beliefs and not all of them can identify with any specific feminist theory they support the continuous efforts of Red Dawns as they believe that women’s work deserves more attention and appreciation." |

Bread&Roses (Zagreb) |
A
Croatian feminist journal which features articles and essays on feminism. "Since
1994 enska infoteka publishes the magazine Kruh i rue (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."

"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." I.Rogova [AT] zana-pr.ztn.apc.org |
