povezovanje zbirk

Arhiv Lezbične sekcije ŠKUC LL vsebuje gradivo slovenskega lezbičnega in gejevskega gibanja ter aktivističnih skupin od njihove ustanovitve leta 1984. V zbirki predvsem prevladuje gradivo Sekcije LL, izrezki iz revij in časopisov, magazini, promocijski materiali (plakati, letaki in podobno). Razen tega je tukaj shranjeno raznovrstno slikovno gradivo, tudi tisto, ki ima umetniško vrednost. Gre za gradivo, ki so ga ustvarjale prve organizirane lezbične in gejevske skupine, ne samo v Jugoslaviji, temveč tudi v socialistični Evropi. Enkratne so po svojem popolnoma javnem pomenu in po velikem, včasih tudi pozitivnem, medijskem odzivu.

The collection of Ladislav Mňačko (1919–1994), a Slovak writer and former prominent Czechoslovak journalist, consists of unique correspondence, manuscripts, prints and clippings which help to describe the life of this significant writer, who after August 1968 was a critic of the communist regime and a representative of Czechoslovak exile literature.

The Lajos Vajda Studio was officially established in 1972 as a circle of visual artists interested in experimental practices. The origins of the cohesiveness of the group lie in the spirit of the place and the group’s attachment to Szentendre and its artistic traditions. At the end of the 1960s, a vital, informal counterculture-cell came into existence in Szentendre in part because of the activities of young artists who inspired one another. The archive documents the history and the activities of the studio and its members.

Lazar Stojanović (1944-2017), film director, journalist and intellectual, was one of the most famous cultural dissidents of socialist Yugoslavia. His film “Plastic Jesus” (1971) was declared as anti-communist and anti-state propaganda and led to Stojanović’s three year imprisonment. The collection represents Stojanović’s personal compilation gathered over the previous decades and consists of books, newspapers, posters, catalogues and video materials/films.
