International festival of Contemporary Arts \u2013 City of Women<\/strong><\/a> is celebrating 25th anniversary.\u00a0 SCCA-Ljubljana together with video and new media archive DIVA Station<\/a> joins the festival as a partner organisation. Artists Ana \u010cigon<\/strong> and Vesna Bukovec<\/strong>, as well a DIVA Station co-worker, curated a group exhibition Cheers to Women! 25 years of Film and Video<\/em> with emphasis on female video artists active in the last 25 years. In their search for the authors, the curators analysed the video archive DIVA Station and looked through the former editions of the City of Women festival.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will be opened on Tuesday, 24th September at 7 pm<\/strong> by a new performance by Ana \u010cigon<\/strong> Cheers to Women! A Performative Appetizer to Video Art<\/em><\/a>, dedicated to video art created between 1995 and 2015 by Slovenian female videasts. Through the eclectic merging of written, spoken and performative quotes, the artist is forming a performative tale, encouraging viewers to an in-depth viewing of the exhibited works. In that sense, the performance is formed as an experimental historical overview, otherwise different from the classical critical texts, but nevertheless awakening the video archives, contemporizing it and thereby encouraging a re-thinking of the meaning and position of artwork by Slovenian female video artists within the canon of art history.<\/p>\n

The public programme<\/a> includes guided tours of the exhibition and a lecture by artist and curator Ana Grobler<\/strong>, MA\u00a0who\u00a0has been researching feminist art in Slovenia for more than a decade. At her lecture, she is going to present the key art works with feminist content that have been created in the area since the mid-1970s. She is going to focus on art works that use the medium of video and are connected to the\u00a0Cheers to Women!<\/i>\u00a0exhibition in Alkatraz Gallery. Her lecture is also going to touch upon the social context in which this engaged art form is being developed in \u2013 and continues to be inseparably connected to.<\/p>\n
