National Reconciliation: Freedom Landscapes
Directed by: Ana Vujanović, Marta Popivoda

Freedom Landscapes is an artistic-political journey through the landscapes of anti-fascist and communist memories, which is not afraid of being poetic, affective, sensorial, and experimental, all along conceptually outlining the problem of erasing these memories from the European history. It is a landscape performance, which deals with the Slovenian and Yugoslav anti-fascist history. Documentary materials such as diaries and interviews of women communists and partisans from the WW2 are our point of departure to open wider issues of anti-fascist heroines, womanly face of the war and the relations between the memory and history. The audience is invited to spend time with the artwork and other people and create shared views to what is happening around them today. And what is happening is the memory that struggles to remain history, and that needs us, living people to hold it there.
