Red Dawn annually invites participation by women artists who actively voice their visions, politics, opinions and feelings through any media. It supports women 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 activists and artists in order to demonstrate the possibility of a festival that is produced, organised and performed by women.
The title and motto of Red Dawn is taken from Kurt Held's novel Die Rote Zora und ihre Bande - Rote Zora (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 the Slovene language. The Red Dawn International Women's Festival hosts women artists and activists whose work is 'subversively beautiful in their brave-hearted questioning of supposed natural and social determinants of women's femininity - and supposed men's masculinity.'
The festival is organised by KUD Mreža in co-operation with ŠKUC Association,LL/Monokel, Klub Gromka, Alkatraz Gallery, MC Podlaga, Sežana, Mostovna Cultural Centre, Pekarna Magdalena Network, Society for the Protection of Atheistic Feelings (DZAČ), Radio Študent (RŠ) and and KUD Anarhiv.
