16.00-16.45 Women's subculture: Fear of writers Promotion of the collection of stories ”Vatrometi” by Lana Bastašić from Banja Luka and a discussion about women's literature in the region. To which extent is the newest generation of women writers marked by the collective experience of being categorized by gender? Are women's voices heard only as a provocation in the literature establishment and what are the chances that ”women's” ”awkward issues” will fit into the categories that literature historians have gotten used to? Participants: Lana Bastašić, Jelica Kiso Moderator: Dragoslava Barzut
16.30-18.00 How can we speak of bodies that disturb and distort? Samira Ariadad and Hanna Hannes Hård are part (as writer and as coeditor/writer) of the activist team behind the recent anthology Ätstört (Eating Disordered, released by Swedish publishing house ETC Förlag in September 2011). Here they participate in an audience-interactive dia-/polylogue on eating disorders, fat, food, and power, followed by a workshop on body activism (trans activism, fat activism, eating disorder activism) based on texts from the anthology. With Samira Ariadad and Hanna Hannes Hård

20.30-21.15 Speakable & Danceable Reality (audiovisual monodrama moment) Biljane Stanković Lori "Speakable & Danceable Reality" is a monodrama collage of the personal past and the intimate current of the performer Biljana Stanković Lori. Monodrama in the form of performance can have a countless number of shapes. What's specific with this monodrama is that it allows the audience to take part in creating it's shape. This monodrama will never look the same twice. In certain parts of the monodrama, when evolving on the spot, Biljana Stankovic Lori moves the borders of her privacy in an attempt to involve the audience emotionally. The audiovisual content of the performance consists of dance, photographs, recitals and personal objects.

What do we talk about, do we feel safer, and how do we evolve? Get yr nails done and feel at home!
17.15-18.15 Prostitution - myths and reality A new myth about prostitution is taking shape in Europe. It claims prostitution is "sex work" and a job like any other.
