Description
Post-Yugoslav Queer Festivals by Sanja Kajinić explores two significant cultural projects in Southeast Europe: Queer Zagreb and Ljubljana Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Over ten years, these festivals participated in a regional network of queer events, navigating the boundaries of non-normativity in unique ways between 2002-2012. Through an interdisciplinary approach, Kajinić examines how these festivals and their audiences interacted with one another, shedding light on the organizational practices and cultural significance of these events. This book offers valuable insights into the history and impact of queer festivals in Southeast Europe, making it a relevant read for scholars studying gender studies, history, politics, and festival culture. By investigating the intersection of art, activism, and community, Post-Yugoslav Queer Festivals provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding non-normative identities in post-communist societies.
