In the 1980s, she was a leading figure in the “alternative art scene” in Ljubljana, a widespread cultural movement in Slovenia that developed exciting artistic practices and social critique. Her roles were widespread, from performer, actress, screenwriter and videographer to publicist, organizer and president of the students’ cultural association ŠKD Forum in Ljubljana. From 1982 to 1988, she was a founding member of the FV 112/15 theatre and multimedia group and the FV Disco club, which worked on the Ljubljana subculture scene. This was the context in which she also started to work in video. In the 1980s, she co-founded the first independent music label (FV Label) and video production and publishing house (FV Video) in Yugoslavia. From 1983 to 1989, she was a member of the Borghesia multimedia group. In collaboration with Neven Korda (also a member of the aforementioned groups) she continued to author numerous film, music and dance videos. In the 1990s, she directed documentaries and TV programs on art and culture, specializing in film and video production. In 1992 and 1993 she worked for the Kanal A television station (e.g. the program Podoba [The Image]), and later became a permanent collaborator with Slovene national television. Since 2011, she has worked as a journalist, show director, and editor in the cultural section of Radio Television Slovenia (e.g. the monthly film show Umetni raj [Artificial Heaven]). [1]
