Festival Krokodil: Queer Writers from the Post-Yugoslav region - The Coast is Queer 2021

This event was originally broadcast as part of the Coast is Queer on Sat 6th Feb 2021.
Over this unsettling time as the UK has fractured from the EU, LGBTQ rights are increasingly threatened and the world comes to terms with the COVID pandemic, Coast is Queer is pleased to welcome Festival Krokodil in a defiant rejection of physical and symbolic borders between Brighton and Belgrade, Britain and Europe, the ‘East’ and the ‘West’. LGBTQ rights and their consequent social inclusion are still a contentious topic in the post-Yugoslav region, yet over the last couple of decades there has been a growing body of queer literature by openly queer writers. The panel showcases some of the best queer writing from the post-Yugoslav region and launches a new collaboration between KROKODIL, New Writing South and the University of Brighton.
With Lejla Kalamujić (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Anja Golob (Slovenia), and Dragoslava Barzut (Serbia).
Chaired by Dr Vedrana Veličković, University of Brighton.
