Silk-screened merchandise for 13th Red Dawns Fest

.
On February 28th, the Red Dawns team met with this years' festival visuals designer Ana Baraga and silk-screen mistress Urška at the MetaTisk silk-screening studio at ACC Metelkova. We printed the new posters and bags as well as second hand T-shirts, kitchen cloths, skirts, underwear etc., all of which we receive from you in response to our call for contributions.

All the merchandise - and a new series of badges - are going to be available for sale during the festival at the Infopoint in SOT-24,5 Club and during major festival events in other Metelkova venues.

Below, there are some photos from the printing session. More printing and merchandise photos can be seen on Ana Baraga's blog.

Zbiralna akcija za 13. festival Rdeče zore

Drage punce in ženske (in tudi nekaj fantov)

(zdaj pa zares)

za RDEČE ZORE 

13. feministični in queerovski festival, ki bo od 7. - 10. marca na Metelkovi. 

http://www.rdecezore.org/

Poleg plakatov in weba - bomo naredile tudi promo in darilni material. 

Ker je festival zaenkrat skoraj no-budget

in ker smo raje ekološko in antikonzumeristično naravnane

obenem pa kot prave gospodinje rade pospravimo omare starih reči, ki jih več ne rabimo,

smo se odločile za zbiralno akcijo rabljenih reči. 

Pobrskajte doma po omarah, in če se najde kaj odvečnega, česar ne potrebujete več, bomo stvari zelo vesele. 

Potiskale jih bomo s sitotiskom z letošnjim motivom Rdečih zor. 

Zbiramo: 

Majčke 

kakršnekoli (dolgi, kratki, lepe, grde, spodnje, celo jopice,...)- le naj niso že potiskane (lahko imajo vzorec po celem blagu npr. pike, črte, rožice, samo naj nimajo napisov ali kakih drugih risb, potiskov...) 

Hlačke

to je malo kočljiva tema, a če se bodo nabrale take, ki so se nosljive, jih bomo oprale, razkužile, morda pobarvale, potiskale...

Neuporabljene zvezke

bolje z enobarvnimi platnicami a ni nujno

Kuhinjske krpe, predpasnike

kakršnekoli, starejše in bolj trapaste tem boljše

Rute, šale

bolje enobarvne oz. z majhnimi vzorci, kot z zelo velikimi a v bistvu karkoli

Platnene vrečke, torbice

(le da niso komercialno potiskane)

Če najdete še kaj, kar bi se vam zdelo možno (predvsem obleke, krila, hlače...)

Edino ne pridejo upoštev pletenine, preveč grobe rebraste tkanine 

- saj se tiska vseeno le na bolj ali manj gladko površino. 

Tiskano bo v tehniki sitotiska. 

Menimo, da bo tovrstni promo material za Rdeče zore bil dosti bolj ekonomičen, realen za izvest in ekološki, predvsem pa unikaten in zanimiv, kot pa da naročamo poceni novo in grdo cheap robo iz Kitajske... 

Promo material se bo v času festivala prodajal po ugodnih cenah, ves izkopiček pa bo šel za stroške in realizacijo Rdečih zor. 

Za dekoracijo Menze pri koritu zbiramo tudi rabljene (a delujoče) rdeče novoletne lučke.

Zbiralno mesto je:

 na METELKOVI v galeriji Alkatraz

Galerija je odprta:

Ponedeljek - četrtek:

11.00 - 15.00 in 16.00 - 20.00

Petek: 15.00 - 23.00

ali, če vam je lažje,

v baru BI-KO-FE na šanku

Stvari prosim prinesite med 15. in 25. februarjem. 

Najlepša hvala in lep pozdrav vsem! 

Ekipa RDEČIH ZOR

Performativno predavanje Emily Schwarzwald: 'Ko se igramo: queerovski BDSM'

Rdeče zore vabimo na

performativno predavanje
Emily Schwarzwald: Ko se igramo: queerovski BDSM* 
(English version below)

Emily Schwarzwald bo predstavila izbor lepih, močnih in občasno zabavnih (javnih) izrazov queerovske, lezbične, ženske in trans SM kulture iz zadnjih tridesetih let. Ker jo zanimajo tudi sodobni življenjski slogi, stili oblačenja in spolne prakse v BDSM skupnostih, bo predstavila izsledke svoje raziskave, v kateri je fotografirala in intervjuvala današnje članice in člane skupnosti. Spraševala jih je, kako spol in spolnost vplivata na njihov BDSM stil, katere BDSM sloge imajo najraje in ali njihova razredna pripadnost vpliva na njihove BDSM persone, stile in sceno.

Sobota, 21. januar 2012 ob 19.30, Klub Tiffany, ŠKUC-Kulturni center Q, AKC Metelkova mesto, Ljubljana

Brezplačno.


*Umetnica kratico »BDSM« uporablja kot zbirni pojem za vrsto sporazumnih razmerij, ki vključujejo vezanje, discipliniranje, dominanco, podreditev, mazohizem in nekatere fetišizme. Izraz »queerovska, lezbična, ženska in trans BDSM kultura« ali krajše »queerovski BDSM« zajame posebnosti lezbičnih in queerovskih BDSM slogov v lezbično-feminističnih kontekstih poznih sedemdesetih, osemdesetih in devetdesetih let 20. stoletja. 

Emily Schwarzwald se posveča različnim seksualnim politikam in kulturam, BDSM praksam, modi ter performansu kot vsakodnevni praksi in umetniški zvrsti. Doktorirala je iz prava na temo pornografije in ameriškega, nemškega ter avstrijskega kazenskega prava. Delala je kot (modna) oblikovalka, kot svetovalka v informacijskem centru za ženske s partnerskimi težavami, izkušnjo (spolnega) nasilja in psihiatrije ter vodila dunajski skupnostni radio Orange 94.0. S svojimi eseji in predavanji o poliamoriji, »pokvirjanju« BDSM slogov in pravni dimenziji BDSM praks je sodelovala na številnih dogodkih, med njimi na konferenci Extra/Ordinary Dresscode. Costuming and the Second Skin in Asia v Hong Kongu (2009) in na mednarodni ženski BDSM konferenci, ki je potekala v Berlinu l. 2010 (International Women's BDSM Conference). Živi in dela na Dunaju.

a lecture performance by
Emily Schwarzwald: When We Play: Queer BDSM*

After showing beautiful, strong and occasionally funny examples of (public) expressions of QueerLesbianWomenTrans SM culture of the last thirty years, Emily Schwarzwald is going to present her interviews with current community members, accompanied with selected images of their personal styles. The interviewees were asked how is gender or sexuality reflected in their 'outer' BDSM style, what are their favourite BDSM styles and whether or not their social realities (class affiliation) affect their BDSM personas, styles and scene.

Saturday, January 21st 2012 at 19.30 in Tiffany Club, ŠKUC-Cultural Center Q, Metelkova mesto, Ljubljana

No entrance fee.


*The acronym “BDSM” is used as an umbrella term for consensual Bondage and/or Discipline and/or Dominance and/or Submission and/or Masochism, including certain fetishisms. The term “QueerLesbianWomanTrans BDSM subculture” (or in short “queer BDSM”) allows us to capture the specificity of lesbian-centered and queer BDSM in feminist-lesbian contexts of the late 1970's, 1980's and 1990's.

Welcome!


P.s. For those of you who have been asking whom or what do we mean by "trash" in the title of the party - and what does it refer to in terms of the dress code. Here's a possible answer from Virginie Despentes' book King Kong Theory:

“... the weirdos, the ones who shave their heads, those who don’t know how to dress, those who worry that they stink, those who have rotten teeth, those who don’t know how to go about things, are never given presents by men, those who will fuck anyone who’ll have them, the fat tarts, the skinny sluts, those whose cunts are always dry, those who have big bellies, those who would rather be men, those who behave as if they were men, those who think they’re porn queens, who don’t give a damn about guys but are interested in their girlfriends, the ones with big arses and thick, dark body hair they don’t wax, brutish, noisy women, who destroy everything that gets in their way, those who don’t like perfume shops, whose red lipstick is too red, who haven’t got the figure to dress like hookers and yet desperately want to, women who want to wear men’s clothes and a beard in the street, those who want to show it all, those whose shyness is due to their hang-ups, those who don’t know how to say no, those who are locked up in order to be controlled, women who are scary, pitiful ones, women who don’t turn men on, those with flabby skin and a face full of wrinkles, those who dream of plastic surgery, of liposuction, of having their nose broken so it can be reset but can’t afford it, women who look like the back of a bus, those who can rely only on themselves for protection, who don’t know how to comfort others, who couldn’t care less about their kids, women who don’t behave; and men who don’t want to protect, men who would like to be protective but don’t know how to start, men who don’t know how to fight, those who cry easily, those who aren’t ambitious, competitive, well-hung or aggressive, men who are fearful, timid, vulnerable, men who prefer looking after their home to going out to work, men who are fragile, bald, too poor to be attractive, men who’d like to be fucked, men who don’t want to be counted on, men who are scared to be alone at night.”

The 2012 call for submission is closed!

Illustration by Helena Janečić

The Red Dawns collective would like to thank everyone who responded to our call for program submissions and volunteer help for the next festival edition that will take place in Metelkova mesto between March 7th and 10th 2012. 

We are going to start reviewing the program submissions on Thursday, December 20th 2011. Everyone can expect an answer soon although we ask your patience as the number of submissions exceeded our expectations and capabilities yet again! As Helena's cute worker says: How much (excellent) queer work!
