Background
The festival was instigated by the requestioning of the position of women in an inseparable intertwinement of art, culture, politics, activism, and everyday life. The title and motto of Red Dawns festival is taken from Kurt Held's 1941 novel The Red Zora and Her Gang. Red Zora had beautiful red hair and her daringly witty, anarchist attitude inspired many struggles, including the militant feminist organisation Rote Zora of West Germany, which stood against patriarchy, biotechnology, and nuclear power, among other things. Zora means "dawn" in Slovenian language. The Red Dawns festival hosts artists and activists whose work is subversively beautiful in their brave-hearted questioning of the supposed natural and social determinants of women's femininity and supposed men's masculinity.
Overview
Red Dawns annually invites women and queer artists who actively voice their visions, politics, opinions and feelings through any media. It supports women and queers who express their creativity in self-organised ways, capturing the do-it-yourself ethic of constructive rebellion against capitalist consumption. The festival's ideal ground is to unite the strength of women and queer activists as well as artists in order to demonstrate the possibility of a festival that is produced, organised, and performed by women and queer men.
Each year the festival presents from 20 to 30 different events. The 2009 edition of the festival featured an exhibition Women Are Coming [Ženske prihajajo], presenting Slovene feminist video, photography, and other visual art works, performances by Liad Kantorowitz (Israel/Palestine), Noa Reshef (Israel), and Sara Filipovič (Slovenia), concerts by Kombinat Choir and Cherry Sunkist (Austria), etc. The festival also organises intriguing workshops, such as a DIY workshop of clothes recycling, a workshop on Internet security and privacy, a workshop on preventing burn-out, a workshop on DIY sex toys, etc.
The festival is organised by KUD Mreža in cooperation with ŠKUC Association, Klub Monokel, Klub Gromka, Alkatraz Gallery, MC Podlaga, Mostovna Cultural Centre, Pekarna Magdalena Network, the Society for the Protection of Atheistic Feelings (DZAČ), Radio Študent (RŠ) and KUD Anarhiv. Red Dawns is supported by ACU (Utrecht) and the Global Fund for Women.
