The first Pride Parade in Slovenia was held in 2001. In the political sense, its protest demand for the integration of gender differences in the society, law and culture seems to address quite a wide spectre of people who care about the extent of what the society understands and sees as existing within it. In recent years, in Slovenia and even more so in other countries of the region and entire Eastern Europe, the issue of Pride Parades began to be transformed into the demand for a (political) happening and the conditions it requires. As it seems, the LGBTQ+ population has been joined by a wide range of people of diverse identities and viewpoints who identify with the parade in the sense of indicating the inclusiveness of the social climate.
The discussion will be hosted by art critic and publicist Rok Vevar, with participating guests:
Dr. Bogdan Lešnik (sociologist and co-organiser of festival Magnus: Homosexuality and Culture),
Suzana Tratnik (writer, sociologist and human rights activist LGBT),
Dr. Tadej Troha (philosopher and columnist for Dnevnik),
Janez Janša (theatre director),
Zvonimir Dobrović (founder and programme director of Queer Zagreb festival).
9 pm: Wanda & Nova deViator (DJ set)
