The program on Saturday, October 26th, is going to wrap-up the special autumn edition of
Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns, organized in collaboration with City of Women - 19th International Festival of Contemporary Art as part of our joined project Red Dawn above the
City of Women.
You can check the whole program at our website. This Saturday, you are invited to the following events:
13.00, Mesarski most, Central market, Ljubljana
Street dance performance
ACT Women (Serbia): My Body, My Territory
A socially engaged performance about sexual violence against women. It is dedicated to sexual abuse survivors and addresses the complex process that women who have experienced it go through: from the moment of rape to the point when they decide to report it to the police and dare to say: »Rape is never a woman's fault. The perpetrator is the one who should be ashamed.«
No entrance fee
16.30, in front of Menza pri koritu, ACC Metelkova mesto, Ljubljana
Performance
Ana Čigon (Slovenia): Dear Ladies, Thank You
An evolving performance that has been presented in several variations. The common thread that connects all versions is the discourse of the under-representation of women in art history, art theory, art institutions, and in the broader collective memory.
.
The performance
is a part of Urban Art Projects, produced by KUD Mreža. Supported by Ministry of Culture of the Republic
of Slovenia and the City Municipality of Ljubljana.
18.00, Menza pri koritu, ACC Metelkova mesto, Ljubljana

Reading performance
Bibliothèque Érotique (The Netherlands): The Empire of the Senses
Bibliothèque
Érotique will start with a short reading performance in Menza pri
koritu and continue their erotic readings (Henry
Miller, Marquis de Sade, Audre Lorde, Anaïs Nin ...) in
a more intimate manner in
A-Infoshop, which will get a make-over for this special occasion,
arranged by Ljubljana's own Red Cabaret. The audience is invited to
discover, through sight, taste, touch and sound, an enhanced experience
for their erotic fantasies. Consensus, respect
and enjoyment will constitute the precepts of ‘Boudoir des Sens’.

Sound performance
chra & Cherry Sunkist (Austria): black black black black nr.1
The sound performance takes place in complete darkness, allowing the listener to rely on her ears and imagination, rather than her eyes; to experience sound in a public, yet intimate, setting. Their experimental mix of pop, dub, minimal techno, and ambiental electronic music is played at different volumes, and from different angles, encouraging the audience to approach this ever-changing soundscape actively, by moving through space and in between other listeners.
