The ArtsFebruary 2022"I am Jugoslovenka!"
Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism
by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon
"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

Children's & young adult fiction & true storiesRecord School
The Journey
by Anna Winberg
You have been admitted to…. THE RECORD SCHOOL! Silje, Rurik and Kostas are nine years old, and none of them really fit in. Silje lives in the posh suburb Tigerholm, but she is the only one with a mohawk and a rocker style. Rurik’s family only wants to train, compete and win in athletics, but he is just not into traditional sports. And Kostas is super smart, he has already jumped ahead three classes in school, but he has no real friends, and mainly hangs around the library, playing chess with 80-year old Allan. They all apply to the Record School, a boarding school on a remote island, where all the students train for some kind of world record, and anything can happen. In the beginning, everything seems exciting, but there are also clouds on the horizon. Take the twins, Sanja and Manji, for example, and the strict rules – will you really be suspended from the school if you aren’t punctual?
