The forthcoming edition of The City of Women Festival is to transgress the artistic disciplines within the thematic arena entitled Between Past and Future.

Mladi levi festival: Stefan Kaegi/ Rimini Protokoll: RADIO MUEZZIN

Stara mestna elektrarna – Elektro Ljubljana

Muezzins are special people. They are those mysterious voices calling the faithful to prayer, echoing from the minarets of mosques across Muslim countries five times a day.
Muezzins called out for worshippers to pray from the top of minarets until the 1950s and were often blind so that they could not peep over their neighbours’ fences. For quite some time now the azan, the call to prayer, has been performed simply in the mosque with a microphone in hand, while the chant itself echoes from loudspeakers. (more…)

Mladi Levi Festival: IN SEARCH OF THE GREEN QUARTER (exhibition)

Location: Hostel Celica
Saturday, August 21st at 5.00 pm, exhibited until Monday, August 30th

This exhibition represented an epilogue in the process which we undertook together with the students from the Famul Stuart School of Applied Arts and their mentor, an architect Aleksander S. Ostan. We focused on exploring the presence, difficulties and qualities of the green surfaces in the Tabor local district. According to findings of a research performed by Bunker together with Matjaž Uršič and Špela Drnovšek Zorko in the beginning of this year, the majority of inhabitants and passers-by in this part of the city seem to miss the greenery and a space to rest and chat casually. This exhibition was not only about presenting our findings, but marked the beginning (and continuation) of an effort to turn the Tabor local district green and to thereby invited the visitors to participate in thought and action.

Essential part of the exhibition was a walking map of the Tabor local district, featuring several spaces and sight-viewing spots, which represented a crossroad of various green stories. The exhibition took place in live version by four different tours across the neighbourhood, guided by special guests.

Location: Platform by the Slovene Ethnographic Museum

Every period has certain criteria regarding either beauty or functionality, which pervade and thus leave their stamp on a place in time. What is the vision and the image of the Tabor local district, which is considered to lack any real identity due to its fleeting and passing spirit?

Mladi Levi festival: A LOOK BY THE WAY

by Aleksander S. Ostan

A relaxed walk across Tabor will shed light on different perceptions of the quarter with a special emphasis placed on various ways of seeing and reading its green surfaces: from those well arranged to those deserted, from those most evident to those hidden to the eye, from those public to those privately secluded… All of these surfaces will be observed with an eye encompassing both the whole picture as well as every detail.
