Within this year's Smoqua festival, which will take place in Rijeka from October 15th to 17th, art organisation From the Citizens to Their City presents interesting art projects and artist talks that you can follow through the festival program.

On the first day of the festival, on October 15th, from 19.00 till 20.00, join us on a project presentation AIDS – Based on a True Story. Vladimir Čajkovac, curator, will present the research underpinning exhibitions held at the Hygiene Museum in Dresden and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Geneva.

You always wanted to learn tango, but not the "classical" one? Join us for queer tango with the support of the Flame dance group at the opening of the Smoqua festival on October 15th from 14.00 o'clock, Korzo street (near City Hall). Dancer and choreographer Damian Cortes Alberti prepared a special video so we can all learn basic steps.

The Feminist Walk Around Rijeka will be held in Rijeka for the first time within this year's Smoqua festival as a common initiative of the Center for Women's Studies of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Rijeka and the LORI. The guided walk intends to inform the public about the unfamiliar or tacit contributions of women for Rijeka and the wider community.

At Smoqua this year (October 15^th -17^th 2020) in Rijeka, all visitors will have the opportunity to engage in several interesting workshops: from making activist jewellery, self-sustainable funding for feminist organisations and initiatives, on tactics for creative forms of protesting to sex toys. We cordially invite everyone with an open hearts and minds to Palach to develop their creative abilities and learn something on these topics under guidance of experts that conduct workshops.
