„Narobe is translated as Wrong.“ - Roman Kuhar, editor-in-chief of Narobe magazine and blog (Ljubljana), in conversation with Tea Hvala.

Topic: 
Activism
Grassroots media in Europe
LGBT and queer issues
Teaser Image: 

Roman Kuhar: Narobe (http://www.narobe.si/ and http://www.narobe.si/menu/arhiv) is translated as Wrong. It‘s a kind of subversion which we wanted to have in the title. But people keep asking us why we call ourselves Wrong, isn’t this supposed to be a magazine which affirmed with the LGBTIQ community? The fact that we get this kind of feedback is a sign that choosing this name was a good decision. We had different names and it was a long discussion in the editorial board. At the end we were voting and Narobe was the outcome.

Ptqk Blogzine: Maria Ptqk is writing her blogzine http://ptqkblogzine.blogspot.com since 2004. In the interview with Rosa Reitsamer, Maria Ptqk talks about her way into feminism, cyberfeminism and her blogging experience.

Topic: 
Activism
Art
Do-It-Yourself
Teaser Image: 

Can you shortly introduce yourself?
It's difficult because I have a heterogeneous background. Sometimes I am a producer or assistant for other people, sometimes a curator, an art critic or a teacher. I have a hybrid profile in the cultural field, so I consider myself as a cultural researcher. The topics I am interested on are situated at the crossroads between technology, media, cultural and gender studies, but it changes with my obsessions. My academic background is law and economics. I don't have any formal training in art. In this field I am completely do-it-yourself.
