Access to safe and adequate housing is a fundamental human right, yet in Ljubljana it is increasingly becoming a privilege. Rents are unreasonably high, apartments are often inadequate, and rental conditions exploitative. Meanwhile, young people and marginalized communities are expected to remain productive, adaptable, and keep a smile on their face.
Day after the International Day of Homelessness, we are joining forces with Pritličje and Društvo Štikla to present a drag show that casts light on the housing crisis through art. Drag performers, many of whom know these struggles from personal experience, will confront the absurdity of today’s housing conditions with humor and a critical point of view – showing what it really means to survive when having a home is anything but guaranteed.
On stage:
11 October, 19:00, Pritličje (outdoors between the tables; indoors in case of rain)
This event is an artistic protest against the absurdities that shape our living conditions. Drag does not only entertain – it exposes the housing crisis as more than an individual issue. It is a deeply social and political problem, and one we must speak about loudly and collectively.
