4.-8. March 2026, Cerkno https://deujebabe.wordpress.com/
The Deuje babe Festival is named after the archaeological site of the famous Neanderthal flute above the Idrijca River Valley, where, according to folk tradition, the deuje babes resided, which is a dialect synonym for untamed women and a variation on the jaga Baba myth. The Festival remains true to the mythological tradition, presenting wild artistic expression and activism by women of all genders. It gives them the opportunity to present their work to a wider audience and gives preference to uninitiated artists and fighters who reject stereotypical notions of women and femininity and men and masculinity; those who break unwritten rules about the "normal"or even "natural" appearance, behavior, conduct and way of life of all of us.
