Afterhours / Collective feminist practice
Between the street and the screen.
Independent feminist initiatives where research leaves the report and becomes shared language, collective care and public action across the everyday and the political.
This is not a side note. It is a different register of the same practice.
Feminism from the Gym (Feminizam iz teretane)
An independent feminist media and educational practice that moves research into public language. Through analysis, visual storytelling and accessible formats, it examines digital violence, algorithms, media culture, body politics and the everyday life of patriarchy.
As founder and editor, I hold evidence and accessibility together: rigorous enough for complexity, direct enough to enter a wider conversation.
Journalists Against Violence Against Women (Novinarke protiv nasilja prema ženama)
A collective of journalists and editors working to change how the media report on violence against women: from spectacle and isolated incident to a structural issue that requires ethical language, survivor dignity and institutional accountability.
My contribution combines research, feminist media practice and advocacy against sensationalism, including co-authoring the Guidelines on Media Reporting on Violence Against Women (Smernice za medijsko izveštavanje o nasilju prema ženama) and the Analysis of Media Reporting on Violence Against Women, 2019–2021 (Analiza medijskog izveštavanja o problemu nasilja prema ženama za period 2019–2021. godine).
Feminist Cookbook (Feministička kuvarica)
A video podcast that uses the kitchen as a space for women's lives and feminist questions. Through simple, culturally familiar dishes, it opens conversations about gender myths, invisible labour, the body, tradition, solidarity and everything we are told is “women's” without ever asking why.
The four-part pilot moves through invisible labour; body and pleasure; revolution and tradition; and sisterhood, women's solidarity and rest. I host and cook, Dea Džanković writes the scripts and Anđela Zubac films and edits; the companion series Sweet Little Upside-Down Myth (Slatki mali prevrnuti mit) overturns one gender myth at a time.
(Don't) Be Afraid of the Dark (Ne plaši se mraka)
Developed through Sisters, Comrades (Sestre, drugarice), the initiative turns women's experiences of harassment in public space into collective knowledge and action. Its Map of Sexual Harassment in Belgrade (Mapa seksualnog uznemiravanja u Beogradu) makes unsafe locations and recurring patterns visible through anonymous testimony.
As co-founder and co-author, I work across two research analyses, feminist storytelling, night walks, performances, the photographic exhibition Invisible Places (Nevidljiva mesta), a public manifesto, SOS protocols and demands for institutional responsibility.
The Synchronized: Feminist Digital Hub (Ujednačene: Feministički digitalni hub)
Born from an emergency circle of around twenty women, The Synchronized is a shared feminist digital commons built for rapid, precise and collective responses to misogyny, digital violence and institutional failure.
As co-founder, I help align messaging, circulate legal guidance, coordinate the reporting of abusive content and media responses, and preserve strategies across generations. The Hub turns care into infrastructure and received the PRaćka Award for Creative Communication in 2025.
