Мапирање женски градови | Сараево со Бесима Бориќ
Our concept is based on the radio show “Female Skopje!” (Skopje e žensko!) that had its first broadcast on the independent radio ‘Kanal 103’ at the end of February 2013, as part of the promo activities for the first edition of our festival “It’s first and it’s a girl!” (Prvo pa žensko). Following the idea that the topography of a city is always closely related to the personal biographies of its citizens and that urban archaeology is essentially an archaeology of our personal memories, during a radio show broadcasted live from a driving car, we will host several interesting guests showing us their own intimate, essentially female stories. Driving through their personal trajectories and listening to their music, we will create an intimate female map of the city, contrasted to its dominant, touristic presentations through guided excursions, souvenirs, and postcards. Opposed to the masculine rebuilding and representing of cities today, we will (re)present the cities as unique strong, independent women. The radio show will be broadcasted live from a driving car, while guests are being picked up from places that are chosen for them. Each guest will select their point of departure, as well as other places that they would want to visit during their 15-minute radio drive. All places should be relevant to their intimate female city map. The show is to be divided into 3 segments; each segment consists of one guest (or a duo) and 15 songs selected by the guests for each segment. The radio show is part of a project, developed and copyrighted by Tiiiit! Inc., set to happen in all Ex-Yugoslavian capital cities."
