Drawing ‘Tribute to Antifa’ at benefit auction supporting the ACC Metelkova City

At the Square without Historical Memory Alkatraz Gallery and Ljubljana Street Art Festival organized benefit auction of works by artists who will contribute their works to the common (well-being). Half of the funds received will go directly to the creators, and the other half in support of ACC Metelkova City.

The auction at Metelkova has a long tradition – bold callers with their improvised inserts, witty comments and passing and interpretation of the unique characteristics of the participating artists provoke and entertain several generations of visitors to Metelkova. This time, we will be taken through the auction for the first time by the already established ❤ Janez Blond ❤, one of the alter egos of the versatile performative artist Danijela Zajc.

Participating artists: Beli sladoled, Vesna Bukovec, Ana Čigon, Edvin Dobrilović, Boštjan Drinovec, Damjana Gotar (Woohoo Jewlery), Grejpfrut, Meta Kastelic, Anka Kočevar, Neven Korda, Borut Krajnc, David Krančan, Mirko Malle, Črt Mate, Silvo Metelko, Rok Mohar, Boštjan Novak, Katja Oblak, Arjan Pregl, Maja Pučl, Zoran Srdić Janežič.

I’ve participated in the auction with a drawing  Tribute to Antifa. The motif of a heart in hand comes from the visual identity of the 24th International Festival of Contemporary Arts – City of Women.
Black and red are the color of the anarchist anti-fascist movement Antifa, which is actively fighting against fascisms and oppression of all kinds and has in recent months been the target of media attacks by far-rightists around the world and in the local environment. With the drawing, I express my support and tribute to the Antifa movement and the values ​​it upholds.
