The 1st Grounded Festival VA compilation will be released in parallel to its 7th edition, happening from 24.8. - 26.8.2023 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, with this years theme PEACE.  The VA compilation brings together local and international musicians who have performed at our previous editions or who will present themselves for the first time this year as part of the festival’s lineup.  

All the proceeds from physical and digital sales will support Ukraine's efforts for justice and peace, and will be donated to the LGBTIQ+ military in Ukraine (https://linktr.ee/lgbtmilitary).

"𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥." (Declaration on the Right to Peace, Article 1, UN General Assembly, 2016) 🕊️

Peace is a condition for the exercise of human rights - in times of war and violence freedom of expression, the right of assembly, personal freedom, privacy, freedom of religion, mental and physical inviolability and, last but not least, the right to bare life are suspended. Every war is a massive and systematic violation of human rights, its victims are adults and children without a future: killed, missing, raped, tortured, exiled and imprisoned.

At the same time, the enforcement of human rights is a condition for peace. As one of this year's guests, Aida Čerkez, a journalist reporting from the besieged Sarajevo during the 1992-95, says: "Peace, but not at any price." In Palestine, the peace process is a euphemism for colonization by peaceful means, in Bosnia, the Dayton Peace Agreement is another name for the 20-year stagnation of the country and the entrenching of nationalism. Therefore, peace cannot and must not only be a state of the absence of war, but a state of justice and prosperity for all. As the slogan of the Black Lives Matter movement says, “No Justice, No Peace”.

In conversations, lectures and round tables with researchers, analysts and people with experience of war, members of peace movements, journalists, war reporters and artists, we will ask ourselves whether peace is an unconditional value or whether it has a price; what is the international architecture of peace and whether it is still able to respond to the demands of contemporary conflicts; what place do social and economic rights occupy in the international system of protection of human rights and lasting peace; if there is a just war, there is a just revolution - what is the relationship between the two?

The musical part of the festival, following the most current guidelines, presents the most exciting phenomena of post-club, experimental and daring electronic music for the seventh year in a row, this year again at various club locations at AKC Metelkova.

Elektro inštalacije 2.0. povezujejo nove zvočne napeljave, vrezujejo utore v obstoječe preperele vzorce, tkejo niti in tvorijo zavezništva med različnimi identitetnimi skupinami znotraj elektronske glasbe ter širijo vidni spekter izvajalkam_cem in poslušalstvu. V okviru serije se bo vrtela elektronska in eksperimentalna glasba že uveljavljenih, kot tistih manj uveljavljenih ženskih in trans producentk_ov s celotnega sveta, ki jih bodo v DJ sete zapakirale_i povabljene_i zvočne_i raziskovalke_i.

Drawing from a well of retro 90s tracks, deep house grooves, techno and breakbeats, Doxy has been enriching events with her energetic sets in Zagreb, outdoor festivals and beyond. She is the founder and member of the queer DIY activist program Schlag, created in response to the low visibility of women and queer artists in the clubbing scene. Doxy is dedicated to diverse freedoms of expression both on and off the dancefloor as evidenced by her flavour-packed mixtapes and steady underground following.

Ustanova s03e05 • Doxy

Grounded is a festival of electronic music, critical thinking and activism, that addresses current social issues by combining the seemingly incompatible: deinstitutionalised theoretical debates, everyday social activism and progressive electronic club culture. Through debates, projections, presentations, music performances and hangouts – the baselines of which are equality irrespective of personal circumstances, solidarity with the weak and the autonomy to govern your own fate – the participants seek relevant, eligible and responsible answers to the contemporary challenges.
 
The first edition of the festival was held in 2015 with the theme Autonomy of migration. Theme in 2018 was Intimacy in the age of artificial intelligence, in 2019 Automation and Power, in 2020, in 2021 The State and last year Responsibility. 

2023 theme is Peace.
