Launched in 2000 by KUD Mreža Arts and Culture Association, the Red Dawn International Women's Festival takes place annually at Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone in Ljubljana and also at MC Podlaga, Sežana, Mostovna Cultural Centre and Pekarna Magdalena Network in Maribor. Red Dawn features international makers and activists from the fields of performing arts, visual arts, film, and music, as well as organises video projections, round tables, and lectures.

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 Dawn 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 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.

Overview

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 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. Red Dawn is supported by ACU (Utrecht) and the Global Fund for Women.
