Otvarajući panel u sklopu Europske feminističke konferencije ‘Ženske politike – Budućnost feminističke borbe’, nosi naslov ‘Feministički aktivizam’. Gošće panela kojeg moderira Dorotea Šušak jesu etablirane, višegodišnje ekspertice, aktivistkinje, umjetnice i borkinje u polju ženskih prava, odnosno Jelena Višnjić (SRB), Mirjana Kučer (HR), Sanja Sarnavka (HR) i Arijana Lekić Fridrih. Panel ‘Feministički aktivizam’, otvorit će dijaloško polje komparacije historijskih, transgeneracijskih i suvremenih premrežišta, kao i žarišta borbe za ženska prava (pravo na sigurnost i život, slobodu od rodno-uvjetovanog nasilja, reproduktivno zdravlje, itd.). Otvorit ćemo pitanje uloge civilnog društva i aktivističkih inicijativa u funkciji dugoročnih korektiva društvene zajednice i sustava, kao i mapirati temeljne silnice budućih stremljenja s ciljem izgradnje pravednijeg društva. Poseban fokus će biti usmjeren na propitkivanje potencijala umjetničkih i diskurzivnih praksi, kao oznažujućih mehanizama raznorodnih aktivističkih akcija u polju feminizma.

The opening panel as part of the conference ‘Women’s Politics – Shaping the Feminist Future,’ is titled ‘Feminist Activism.’ The panel guests, moderated by Dorotea Šušak, are established, experienced experts, activists, artists, and advocates in the field of women’s rights, including Jelena Višnjić (SRB), Mirjana Kučer (HR), Sanja Sarnavka (HR), and Arijana Lekić Fridrih. The ‘Feminist Activism’ panel will open a dialogue on the comparison of historical, transgenerational, and contemporary networks, as well as focal points in the struggle for women’s rights (the right to safety and life, freedom from gender-based violence, reproductive health, etc.). The discussion will open the question of the role of civil society and activist initiatives in serving as long-term correctives for the social community and system, as well as mapping the fundamental forces of future aspirations with the aim of building a fairer society. A special focus will be directed towards questioning the potential of artistic and discursive practices as empowering mechanisms for diverse activist actions in the field of feminism.
