11:00 Presentation of the App: Press Conference and First Literary Soundwalk

Slavic Soundwalking is an interdisciplinary international project that connects literature and sound design through digitalization. The goal of the project is to promote cultural and linguistic diversity, inclusion, and easier access to literary content through digital technology. Slavic Soundwalking is a free mobile literary-sound app, which only activates during walks through public spaces in Ljubljana, Zagreb, or Belgrade.

Seventy-five writers from Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia were invited by three editors to write exclusive short stories for this app. The stories are translated into five languages, including sign language, and are interpreted by professional actors. Each story is accompanied by a unique musical and sound background, immersing the listener in the world of storytelling. Users can download the app from Google Play or the Apple Store and access the sound stories while walking through Ljubljana.

At the press conference, we will present the international project and the mobile app, highlighting the example of good practice in involving vulnerable groups, especially the deaf and hard of hearing, in the project. We will also emphasize the importance of making cultural content accessible to all.
Additionally, we will introduce the program for promoting the mobile literary-sound app, which will take place between September 30 and October 11 in Ljubljana.
Speakers:

• Mag. Mateja Demšić, Head of the Department of Culture at the Municipality of Ljubljana,
• Robert Žlajpah, President of the Ljubljana Deaf Society,
• Indira Vehbić, Secretary and expert worker at the Ljubljana Deaf Society,
• Mag. Suzana Tratnik, writer and editor of the Slovenian short stories in the project,
• Dr. Biljana Žikić, Head of the Danilo Kiš Cultural Center.

The Slavic Soundwalking project is co-financed by the European Union within the Creative Europe program. The project is supported by the Ministry of Public Administration, and the translation into sign language is funded by the Ministry of Culture as part of the media literacy project. The promotional events are also supported by the Slovenian Public Fund for Cultural Activities.

13:00 Sign Language Workshop

Sign language is a special form of communication using hands, facial expressions, and body language, primarily used by deaf individuals in everyday social interaction. You are invited to learn about sign language at the premises of the Ljubljana Deaf Society.

19:00 Sounds and Movements of Diversity: Discussion on the Monograph by Alma Bejtullahu

The discussion between the author, Dr. Alma Bejtullahu, and journalist and anthropologist Tjaša Stanič will be followed by a short music program performed by the Migjeni Association music group.

With the monograph "Musical and Dance Activities of Women with Immigrant Backgrounds in Slovenia", ethnomusicologist Alma Bejtullahu aims to shed light on what is lesser-known to the general public. There is, in fact, a vibrant and diverse musical and dance activity among immigrant minorities in Slovenia, particularly from the Western Balkans, where the participation of women is key. A significant part of this creation stems simply from a love for music and dance of their own culture. This activity is either organized within numerous amateur cultural associations or is the individual work of female musicians who have become recognized on the Slovenian ethno-music scene. The monograph is co-published by the Institute of Ethnomusicology at ZRC SAZU and the Danilo Kiš Cultural Center at Založba ZRC.

19:00 Victory of Laughter / Pobeda osmeha – Discussion and Exhibition on the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Comedian and Actor Miodrag Petrović Čkalja

A discussion with Irina Kondić, author of the exhibition and artist, led by Ivana Hostnik, academic painter and curator of the exhibition in Ljubljana.

The multimedia exhibition consists of professional and family photos and film clips from the most popular films of one of the greatest Serbian and Yugoslav comedians of the last century. "We must not forget that Čkalja's popularity soared through acoustic performances, particularly in the show 'Veseli večer' on Radio Belgrade from the 1950s onward. His face was not the first thing that the wide audience recognized. He was a master of vocal modulation. It was enough for him to read any text, and it would instantly become funny... With film and television, his face became the trademark of comedy, so strong that it allowed Čkalja to continually create new, equally popular characters. Čkalja, honest and warm to the end, still turns his face towards us today, and we cannot help but laugh with full lungs, at him, ourselves, and the world, until tears come," writes Svetlana Slapšak in the text accompanying the exhibition "Victory of Laughter."
