Anti-valentinovske karaoke – Benefit Rdečih zor

*for English version scroll down*

14. februarja vas vabimo na anti-valentinovi benefit Rdečih zor. Praznovale_i bomo ljubezen, vendar ne te vrste ljubezni:
Kapitalizem nam je ukradel ljubezen in zdaj je naša naloga, da si jo ponovno prisvojimo! Romantično ljubezen, kot ideologijo kapitalizma, se opredeljuje za najpomembnejšo vez v naših življenjih. Naučene_i smo, da je romantična ljubezen v družbi, ki ji vlada hierarhija ljudi in čustev, postavljena na prednostno mesto; da moramo zapostaviti vse druge povezave v naših življenjih in se posvetiti predvsem partnerskemu odnosu. Hočemo ljubiti, a na svoj način: hočemo skrb, spoštovanje, zaupanje, solidarnost med vsemi in v vseh oblikah odnosov; hočemo takšno vrsto ljubezni, ki spodkopava in preizprašuje hegemonost romantične ljubezni.

Praznujmo vse ljubezenske zgodbe, od partnerstva do samskosti, ljubezni do sebe, kvir odnosov, ne-monogamnosti, platoničnih prijateljstev, aseksualnih romantičnih odnosov, družinskih vezi, ki jih ne določa krvno sorodstvo, do drugih ne-normativnih načinov imeti rad_a, ki so preveč zapleteni in pomembni, da bi jih bilo mogoče popredalčkati.

Vabimo vas, da se nam s svojimi ljubljenimi pridružite na zabavnem večeru, na karaokah v Socialnem centru Rog. Vaš prispevek k zabavi bo podprl Feministični in kvirovski festival Rdeče zore, ki se bo odvijal marca 2019 in ki bo tokrat praznoval svojo 20. obletnico!

On the 14st of February we invite you to Red Dawns’ anti-valentine benefit party to celebrate love; except, not that kind of love:
Capitalism stole love from us and now it is up to us to reclaim it! Romantic love, as an ideology of capitalism, was defined as the most important connection in our lives. We are taught that romantic love is the ultimate priority of a society ruled by hierarchies of people and feelings; that we should neglect all the other connections in our lives in favour of prioritizing our partner. We want to love, but we want it on our terms: we want care, respect, trust and solidarity between all people and ways of relating to each other; a kind of love that disrupts and challenges the hegemony of romantic love.

We encourage you to celebrate all love stories, from coupledom to singlehood, self-love, queer relationships, non-monogamy, platonic friendships, asexual romantic relationships, family bonds not defined by kinship, to other non-normative ways of loving that are too complex and important to categorize into definite boxes.

We invite you and your loved ones to join us at a fun evening with karaoke at Social center Rog. Your contribution to the party will support the 18th Feminist and queer festival Red dawns, which will take place in March 2019, and which will celebrate its 20th anniversary!
