“Spaces of Freedom: Unlearning History – Showcasing Female Literary Creativity from the Western Balkans”<\/strong> is a two day event conceived and realized by the Belgrade based KROKODIL Festival<\/strong>. It aims to provide a relevant presentation of the contemporary literary scene of the six countries\/three language groups that comprise the so-called Western Balkans. Six contemporary female authors, expressing themselves in both poetry and prose, will be presented through readings and short onstage interviews. They will also engage in lively debates tackling some of the most burning topics of our day and age particularly via the prism of a female perspective from the South-East corner of the European continent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TALK1. REVOLUTION AND DEMOCRACY ARE FEMININE\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moderated by: Milena Beri\u0107<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With: Rumena Bu\u017earovska, Diana \u00c7uli, Mima Simi\u0107 and Adelina T\u00ebrshani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversations will be realised in English language.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many languages, the words for \u203aRevolution\u2039 and \u203aDemocracy\u2039 are feminine. Yet, official histories and political theories often attribute social and political upheaval to male figures and values. From the Middle East to Eastern Europe and the Balkans, women have played crucial roles in transformation processes. Today, the world faces unprecedented challenges that demand the highest levels of empathy, love and solidarity. Will women change the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“THIS IS NOT A PERFORMANCE ABOUT YOUR BEAUTY”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ivana Sajko presents an excerpt from her performance about the prejudices women face in the patriarchal societies of South Eastern Europe and the continent as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TALK2. …AND SO ARE CULTURE AND PARTICIPATION.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moderated by: Frauke Seebass<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With: Barbara Dela\u0107, Lejla Kalamuji\u0107, Barbi Markovi\u0107 and Ivana Sajko<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversations will be realised in English language.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are strange times, where everything is political and societies are drifting apart, where people meet like strangers. Existing rifts are deepening, fueled by far-right and identitarian groups. Cultural spaces can offer a refuge from fear and hatred when these seem to dominate public discourse and a sense of democratic fatigue prevails. How can culture and participation help to heal broken ties?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talks on feminine (cultural) activism in the Western Balkans are realized in cooperation between KROKODIL Association from Belgrade and Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb), Berlin.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
