Report on the situation of asylum seekers in Republic of Slovenia, January 2008 – August 2009 by Nika Autor &Maja Cimerman, documentary film, PAL DVD, BW, 36'', 2010 The film is trying to expose struggle and life of the asylum seekers in Slovenia. Asylum seekers are more and more becoming object of systematic physical and psychological violence. The Asylum Center has become an instrument for averting asylum seekers’ and dismantling the right to asylum, rather than being an instrument of their protection. Ever more present repression over asylum seekers coincides with the trend of asylum law. Film exposes the structure of the asylum legal regulation, it’s transformation, disappearance of the right to asylum, criminalization of asylum seekers, systematic physical and psychological violence over asylum seekers, the emergence of European apartheid system, system of production of “sans papieres” while pointing out the self-organization of asylum seekers themselves and the meaning of social centers and open autonomous spaces that self-organized asylum seekers and their supporters are using in their everyday organizing

Panel discussion Seavas Abi and Sista, Build Communities of Resistance! “Kanak_innen Rap” as an Intervention into Debates on Policies of Migration? The so-called “Kanak_innen Rap” is street culture, performed by migrants and inscribed by their living circumstances, which deals with stories of “reality” and dreams, and criticizes exclusion and social problems. Which emancipatory rap projects exist beyond the reproduction of sexist, macho and homophobic imagery? How do they communicate anti-racist awareness, and to which extent are they identified as part of migration struggles? How does the park groove and what’s the message? These questions outline the field of investigation for the panel discussion which will gather anti-racist rap artists and activists.
