Meeting – discussion about Women in Black’s twentieth anniversary

Some twenty activists participated in the discussion.

Thinking about the assembly:

· “Always disobedient – we leave a trace”

It has never been more beautiful, I’m bewitched.
Impressive. Refined, famous. But everything was excellent. Magical, artistic…
I’m amazed, it looked beautiful because of the salt that was used to write the slogans, it looked phenomenal.
Magnificent.
An event engraved in alternative history.
The most beautiful impression is the vigil.
The vigil – I wasn’t aware of what it looked like until we saw the photos.
Solemn, not only the vigil but also after.
The vigil was magnificent and powerful.
I’m speechless about the Square, it was wonderful.


· “The strength of continuity”

Such an assembly is immemorial, there were continuously between 150 and 300 people, richness of the programme, wonderful.
I’m impressed, a marvellous event, exactly like what 20 years of arduous work deserve. I’m proud to have been there, as citizen. I don’t know when I last felt so amazing, because of the energy and all what I read and saw.
The most impressive part was the opening at the Centre for Cultural Decontamination, when you could see the movement’s history, on women’s faces and in the reactions of all those who’ve been in it longer than me.
I’m extremely fascinated by the organisation.
Equality in differences: women from Srebrenica and a punk band were in the same place, generational, cultural, stylistic, sexual equality, it was an atmosphere of trust and love.
I must say that my entire body felt how I was moved when we greeted women who came in all the languages.
It has been a great honour and acknowledgment for me to be invited to open the event, thank you for this.


· “The power of tears”

The session I liked the most was when women talked about their memories.
Meeting with all women, a time machine, just like the old days, Rada, Jadranka, all the women, departures, arrivals, everything crossed my mind.
The most touching moment was with Rada and Jadranka.
