Across five monthly chapters, in different formats – audio, video, text – we bring true stories of the real heroines of the 1990s: activists, peacemakers, feminists and fighters who opposed war, nationalism and political repression during the breakup of Yugoslavia. They refused to become enemies of one another regardless of which side they found themselves on, because they understood that sisterhood knows no nation and that love and care for others are the only cure for hatred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our aim is to map and analyze the legacy of the women’s peace movement of the 1990s, a struggle not fought with guns but on the streets, in cultural institutions, on SOS hotlines and in shelters. Peace activism was a sure route to accusations of \u201cbetraying the nation,\u201d but also a direct successor to women’s anti-fascist resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The focus is on stories of resistance and persecution: from Mira Furlan and the \u201cWitches of Rio\u201d to Vesna Ter\u0161eli\u0107 and Nata\u0161a Kandi\u0107; from the murdered Suada Dilberovi\u0107 and Olga Su\u010di\u0107 to the brave actions of Borka Pavi\u010devi\u0107, CZKD, the Centre for Antiwar Action, Women in Black, the Spiritual Republic Zicer, Biljana Jovanovi\u0107, Lepa Mla\u0111enovi\u0107, Igballe Rogova and other important protagonists whose biographies form key nodes of this significant legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through storytelling, we investigate how today\u2019s young activists and students adopt and reshape these practices in the struggle against contemporary political repression: which tactics, symbols and ethics of resistance they choose, how they connect a feminist approach to peace with labor, social and other civil rights, and how they today preserve memory and insist on justice in Belgrade, Zagreb and Sarajevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not a fairy tale, but… opens its chapters with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
