The celebration of March 8th, 2011. – For Women’s Labor Rights
- 11.30 – 11.45 – Arrival of the participants
- 12.00 – 12.15 – Street
Performance, Republic Square,
- 12.15 – 12.45 – Women’s street march “For
Women’s Labor Rights” – starting at Republic Square, Belgrade, and ending at the Center
for Cultural Decontamination, with a stop at the square next to Beogradjanka building, where the performance
will be repeated.
Topics that we will
acknowledge on this March 8th will be women’s labor rights
and solidarity. These themes are elaborated on the examples of workers
in the textile industry. From historical and phenomenological perspective, the
largest women's labor collectives were textile factories, where both the
emancipation of women (through the exercise of rights), and also numerous
revolts and worker’s revolutions took place. In this way, the textile industry
represents the highlights of the labor rights of women around the world today,
who are, to a lesser or greater extent, all in a similar position: full-time
jobs, low wages, and job uncertainty...
- 12.45 – 13.15 - Arrival at the Center
for Cultural Decontamination
- 13.15 – 13.30 – Center for
Cultural Decontamination – opening of the exhibition, by Jovana Dimitrijević, in
solidarity with textile workers in Serbia.
Exhibition is inspired by
the theses made by Virginia Woolf that the women should tear apart their old
dresses and then saw them back together in a completely different way. This is
related to the traditional women’s roles imposed upon them, and to their
position in the society. Woolf explains that, by doing that, women can
deconstruct the ideas imposed upon them, which do not make them feel good.
Opening of the exhibition
will be accompanied by the screening of films from the previous street actions
related to March 8th, the important moments in the history of
women's resistance in Serbia, and throughout the world - "Always
rebellious - the continuity of women's resistance."
Within the framework of
feminist internationalism and solidarity, the films are dedicated to all women
from Egypt, Iran, Yemen and the Maghreb countries.

orientering i
evig erindring om indsatsen af disse gæve ”Kvinder
i
Sort” i Beograd for at forhindre og stoppe krigene i ex-Jugoslavien i 90erne.
Ja
dengang tilbage i 1992 hvor vi igennem "Fredsaktion
92" også i
Frederikshavn
havde besøg af en af dem,. Sonja Prodanivic jf

Når
man nu genlæser foredragsreferatet fra 1992, så vil man sande, at alt hvad
Sonja
sagde her 18 år efter, at det stadig er lige relevant og faktisk meget
påtrængende at gentage.
