We started with a new type of events entitled Back2Back where we invite domestic and international authors at different stages of their creative path to present their own production and establish a dialogue with works from the DIVA Station archive of their choice. The first invited artist was Mila Peršin, a young author and creator in various artistic fields. Due to epidemiological limitations, we prepared the event online. The recording is included in the DIVA Station archive, as well as her short film Auntie Milena.

During the autumn months during the epidemic, we presented the DIVA Station in two online workshops: Barbara Borčić as part of the 18th Luxury Film Festival (From SCCA and DIVE to Stories Not Yet Written; November 18, 2020), when we also watched some films and videos. In the workshop On Archives in Dialogue (15 December 2020), Barbara Borčić spoke about the historical context of the DIVA Station (How Archives Record and Write Stories), and Ida Hiršenfelder presented the Network Museum of the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (Connecting Hidden Treasures of NGOs).

A conversation about the club scenes in Ljubljana and New York in the 80s and 90s, about self-organization and collective action (Zoom, 23. 10. 2020) juxtaposed two aspects, personal, artist and organizer Zemira Alajbegović, and research, curator Jake Yuzna. After a comprehensive presentation of the New York scene, we watched an excerpt from the video Old and New video, which shows the Ljubljana subcultural scene. Then a lively debate developed. You can still watch it on FB SCCA-Ljubljana.

Despite the epidemic, we made it! Live at the Slovenian Cinematheque and partly online (Slovenian Film Database). The screening of Miha Vipotnik's film / video opus entitled Faces of the Analogue / Quantization of Red ended in September with two events. In the Slovenian Cinematheque, we presented the latest program of his works with a conversation. In the City Gallery in Nova Gorica, Peter Cerovšek presented a retrospective, screened, and analyzed some selected works. An interesting conversation with the artist followed, in which we learned more about his artistic practice as well as about the title of the retrospective.

DIVA Station/SCCA-Ljubljana is participating in a new European project Not Yet Written Stories that will create, through research, workshops, and exhibitions, the archives of women artists available in a common online repository. The SCCA selection of women artists is aimed at different generations: Ana Nuša Dragan, Zemira Alajbegović and Ema Kugler − the key women artists who were/are active in the field of action/performance, film, and video art in Slovenia.
