EPEKA Gallery, Maribor

2017 is coming to an end. We will end it with a thought for those who will unfortunately not have the best memories of this year.

Together with activist, artist, musician,… we will reflect on the year and set goals for a better tomorrow together.

We will also present the Erasmus+ project “Education for Deeper Social Inclusion”, which addresses good practices in the field of education of vulnerable groups, especially adults with international protection.

Join us.

The ten-day festival will take place in the very heart of Maribor, at the iconic location of the former Udarnik cinema.

N’toko & Naji X Mito

A hip-hop blend of old Maribor friends without a hair on their tongue. Their uncompromising philosophy will manifest itself in a concert event in December that will cater for all the fun-seekers. They will be joined by guest Naji, who will present hip hop in Farsi.

Naji (born Iman Shahryari) is a young rapper who comes from Iran’s illegal underground hip hop scene. In his early career he worked with producers MSN, Shervin and Rodfar in his hometown Shiraz before moving to Tehran where he released music for major underground labels such as Sol Records and 021 Records. He is known among his growing online base for his critical words regarding politics and as a result he quickly came under the watchful eye of the Iranian government, which generally bans hip hop and Western music. Despite never showing his face and presenting himself under different names and projects, he was eventually discovered and imprisoned, fleeing the country in 2015. He lives in Slovenia as an asylum seeker, where he continues his musical work in a studio in Ljubljana. He has collaborated with local musicians and producers under the new name Naji. He has performed at numerous venues and festivals and will release his new album “Cherk” this autumn.

The event is supported by the European Social Fund, the Slovenian Youth Office and the Municipality of Maribor.
