Klub Monokel is a club of the ŠKUC-LL Association located at Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone. Housed in the Lovci ('Hunters') building, it was established during the 1990s and evolved together with the Metelkova milieu. The club is a social space and a programme venue for the promotion of lesbian culture and lifestyle. Exhibitions, literary evenings, discussions and other events take place here on Fridays and Saturdays.

Past projects

During the years the club became an important venue at the LGBTIQ scene and was soon proclaimed as the "anti-stress for the sexual minorities". In the past, the Monokel anti-stress therapy included photo exhibitions (by Ivanka Apostolova, Mojca Pišek, ...); theatre plays and performances (by Bridge Markland, Monosexual Theatre, etc.); workshops and talks and book presentations (by Suzana Tratnik, Nicole Brossard, ...).

Collaborations

The venue regularly hosts events of the International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns. In 2011 it hosted a performance and site specific installation Blow Job by Inga Cholmogorova, themed events (Lesbian Vampires, dr. Ljuba Prenner night, ...), and a DJ duo Miće Mace from Rijeka, Croatia.
