Reflecting

Reflecting provides a space for the analysis and contemplation of exhibitions, performances, and projects that have emerged within the framework of the City of Women festival. It encompasses theoretical and essayistic analyses, interviews with artists, and participants in the festival. In these reflections, the authors examine art from a feminist perspective, with a critically sensitive awareness of patriarchal and exclusionary patterns in the artistic scene.

The publication named Reflecting, conceived by Teja Reba, the former program director of City of Women, has been available in physical form since 2017 and can also be accessed on the website in PDF format. With the new website, Reflecting has transformed into an online blog, accessible in both English and Slovenian languages. Due to the possibilities offered by the online environment, the blog now integrates text with audiovisual material.
