Interviews with feminist and LGBT media producers in Slovenia

GrassrootsFeminism is a website dedicated to the contemporary transnational grassroots feminist community. Among other things, it includes interviews with feminist and LGBT radio hosts, zine makers, blog writers, magazine editors etc. In 2010, I interviewed several grassroots media producers in Slovenia, all of which can be acquainted below:

Ida Hiršenfelder, editor of Sektor Ž radio show
Enči Brenči and Tadeja Pirih, co-producers of Lesbian-Feminist University blog
Stanislava Repar, editor of Gender-Apokalipsa review
Roman Kuhar, editor of Narobe magazine

Rosa Reitsamer and Elke Zobl are still conducting two anonymous online surveys; one to find out how and why people consume and/or produce women's/feminist independent media, the other to find out how and why people become involved, participate in and organize Ladyfests. Participation is welcome!

Prepih / Draft interview on Grassroots Feminism website

Grassroots Feminism is a fabulous network portal and research platform that takes as its starting point the belief that today’s grassroots women's/feminist cultural production and practices are worthwhile and need to be documented.

By interviewing the makers of feminist and queer media (zines, blogs, radio shows, etc.) and regularly publishing Ladyfest and other festival programs, the project is trying to make the work and activism of transnational feminists more accessible, as well as to establish a “living history” archive. The project initiators (Elke Zobl, Rosa Reitsamer, Red Chidgey) are also looking for contributions and inviting people to participate in their web surveys about feminist media and Ladyfests.

In 2009, Red Chidgey interviewed me about the blog you are reading now, Prepih / Draft. The interview is entitled "One person is never just one identity; it’s not necessarily a schizophrenic situation" and can be read here.
