3rd to 13th October 2007, Ljubljana, Slovenia

The programme for the 13 th City of Women Festival is being composed under the motto Laugh Out Loud! Humour and art have something in common - what some find funny, others find sad or even scary, and the other way around.

There will be a lot of things at the 13th  City of Women to make us laugh: the surprise of nonsense discovered within apparent common-sense, contrasting presentations, light-hearted judgements, the combining of the allegedly incompatible and some brutally frank discoveries�  We will laugh at the sense of our laughter, and only when it really explodes will we see who laughs loudest!

The Festival will present around 45 women artists from Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, BH, Canada, Germany, Hawaii, India, Italy, Japan, Philippines, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, UK and USA. The City of Women anticipates a fruitful interdisciplinary exchange!
