We will screen a short documentary, I want to have a choice (Women Space, SRB, 2016), which discusses the relativity of choice from the perspective of 11 Roma girls. In the form of a public performance, these young Roma women question whether they even have a choice when their every step is marked by racism. The authors do not agree to comply with these restrictions; instead, their core question is regarding how to exist in a society which is in no way molded for them.

After the film, Nina Dragičević will sit in a conversation with Vera Kurtić, executive coordinator of Women Space (Niš, SRB), a Roma lesbian/feminist and the authoress of a book Džuvljarke: Lesbian exsistence of Roma women. Through a presentation of this pioneer work, interlaced with personal stories of Roma lesbians, we will be asking questions such as: Who are džuvljarke? How does racism manifest in the lives of Roma lesbians? How is a specific identity formed in invisibility? How do institutions (not) carry out their functions, and last but not least, what will the future be like?
