$A House Without Shoes \u2013 Fanzine Workshops \/ Hi\u0161a brez \u010devljev - delavnice fanzina$

On Saturdays in March and April, we invite you to the premises of Pekarna Magdalenske mreže for creative gatherings, where we will create works exploring the theme of home.
In the midst of the current colonial and capitalist boom, individual and collective reflection on one of the most violated human rights today—the right to decent housing—is both urgent and essential. This right is violated every day, not only in the devastating circumstances of war and genocide, but also within the capitalist system, where the right to housing becomes a privilege rather than a guarantee.
A House Without Shoes is a series of fanzine workshops exploring the themes of home, homeland, and what these ideas mean today. Through a series of sessions focused on creative writing, collage, and photography, you will have the opportunity to explore your preferred artistic medium in a playful and supportive environment. Within a group of young people, you will be encouraged to develop your ideas in both poetic and political ways.
The creative sessions, collective exploration, and the process of making the fanzine will be led by our ESC volunteers, Ivana and Paula. Ivana is a graduate in special education and rehabilitation, and Paula is a graduate devised theatre actress. Both are exploring ways to connect art with the social field and believe in the importance of community as a response to capitalism and colonialism.

The meetings will be held in English according to the schedule below. You can attend all of them or choose the ones that interest you most:
- March 14, 11.00 - 13.00: INTRODUCTORY MEETING
What does home mean to you? At the first meeting, we will reflect on this topic together and begin experimenting with different types of materials.
- March 21, 11.00 - 13.00: LITERARY WORKSHOP
A meeting dedicated to words. Through guided exercises and games inspired by creative writing techniques, we will create our own texts.
- March 28, 11.00 - 13.00: PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Discovering through the lens. During a walk through Maribor, we will explore the surroundings, uncover different corners of the city, and learn about the many dimensions of photography.
- April 4, 11.00 - 13.00: COLLAGE WORKSHOP
Combining and gluing. A workshop where we will make collages from photos, magazines, cutouts and other materials that are at hand.
- April 11, 11.00 - 13.00: WRAPPING UP
Towards a Fanzine. At this meeting, we will create another collage, gather all the works produced throughout the process, and reflect on the final outcome.

We strive to create a safe, creative, and playful space where we can explore different ways of expressing our opinions and feelings about the topic at hand. One of the outcomes of this process will be a fanzine, which will be presented at the end of May at OBRAT – a space for art and participation.
The project is run by ESC volunteer and is funded by the European Commission.

Ob sobotah v marcu in aprilu te vabimo v prostore Pekarne Magdalenske mreže na ustvarjalna srečanja, kjer bodo nastajala dela na temo doma.
V kolonializmu in kapitalizmu je potrebno individualno ter kolektivno reflekitrati eno od bolj kršenih človekovih pravic danes – pravico do dostojnega stanovanja. Pravica se na različne načine krši vsak dan, pa ne samo v vojnih ali genocidnih razmerah, temveč tudi v kapitalistični družbi, kjer pravica do stanovanja postane privilegij.
Serija delavnic fanzina z naslovom Hiša brez čevljev bo posvečena temi doma, domovine ter temu, kaj nam to pravzaprav pomeni. Raziskovali bomo skozi pogovore, kreativno pisanje, fotografijo in kolaž. Preizkusili se bomo v različnih oblikah umetniškega in kreativnega izraza, v spodbudnem okolju in skupini mladih, kjer bomo skupaj poetično in politično razvijali svoje ideje.
Kreativna srečanja, skupno raziskovanje in ustvarjanje fanzina bosta vodili naši ESE prostovoljki Ivana in Paula. Ivana je diplomirana terapevtka za specialno pedagogiko in rehabilitacijo, Paula pa diplomirana gledališka igralka. Skupaj poskušata najti način kako povezati umetnost z družbeno relevantnimi temami in močno verjameta v pomen skupnosti in skupnega boja proti kapitalizmu in kolonializmu.

Srečanja bodo potekala v angleškem jeziku po spodnjem urniku. Lahko se udeležiš vseh ali izbereš tiste, ki te najbolj zanimajo:
- 14. marec, 11.00 - 13.00: UVODNO SREČANJE
Kaj ti pomeni dom? Na prvem srečanju bomo skupaj razmišljali o temi ter začeli eksperimentirati z materiali.
- 21. marec, 11.00 - 13.00: LITERARNA DELAVNICA
Srečanje v znamenju besed. Skozi vodene vaje in igre, ki izhajajo iz pristopov kreativnega pisanja bomo ustvarjali besedila.
- 28. marec, 11.00 - 13.00: DELAVNICA FOTOGRAFIJE
Odkrivanje skozi objektiv. Med sprehodom po Mariboru bomo raziskovali okolico, različne kotičke in spoznavali razsežnosti fotografije.
- 4. april, 11.00 - 13.00: DELAVNICA KOLAŽA
Kombiniranje in lepljenje. Delavnica, kjer bomo izdelovali kolaže iz fotografij, revij in drugih materialov, ki bodo pri roki.
- 11. april, 11.00 - 13.00: ZADNJA DELAVNICA
Proti fanzinu. Na srečanju bomo ustvarili še kak kolaž, zbrali vse izdelke, ki so nastali tekom procesa ter razmislili o končnem iZdelku.

Prizadevamo si vzpostaviti varen, kreativen in igriv prostor, kjer lahko skupaj najdemo ustvarjalne načine za izražanje svojih mnenj in občutkov o obravnavani temi. Eden od rezultatov tega procesa bo fanzin, ki bo konec maja predstavljen v OBRATU – prostoru umetnosti in participacije.

Projekt izvajata ESE prostovoljka in je financiran s strani Evropske komisije.
