CITY OF WOMEN: 16. Intern. Festival of Contemporary Arts – 8 - 17. Oct 2010 Ljubljana/Slovenia

This year's edition of the City of Women Festival http://www.cityofwomen.org/ will address the topic Between Past & Future. The conceptual background relates to the eponymous book by Hannah Arendt who, back in the 1960s, argued that the condition of human existence, robbed of the traditional, transcendental, religious and moral standards employed to bridge the abyss between past and future, lost direction.
Artists and theoreticians with various views, experiences, approaches, backgrounds and cultural milieu will challenge audiences between 8th and 17th October with their reflections and responses to the relationship between past and future that we confront today.
The events will be held at most various venues in Ljubljana, such as Cankarjev Dom, the Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture, the Old Power Station – Elektro Ljubljana, Škuc Gallery, Kinodovr, Glej Theatre, Ljubljana Dance Theatre, Grubar Palace, Tromostovje etc.
