I still feel so young, my heart is young. I´ve seen a lot, my husband never went with me, his brother did. As my dowry I brought a sewing machine, Singer, bed linen and clothes I wore, some furniture. My father said that a woman was supposed to bring an armoire but I didn´t. I made all that, I sewed the linen, how to say with monogram. It´s been three years since my husband fell asleep. I thanked God that he took him in his sleep because he had bypass and he was very sick. We have a daughter who is a doctor in our house, she now does the same for me, handles everything. So we thanked God he took him without suffering. -------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

I had a situation when I applied for a job. I came to the interview. We talked, I fulfilled all the work preconditions. I had three children at the time, 4 and a half, 2 and 7/8 months. And after the interview that went well, he asked me- what will you do when your child gets sick, you know, we can´t have the work left undone. I said, how can you ask me what will I do, I´ll stay at home. -Oh, and the work?- I said my priorities are my children and you should appreciate that. I didn´t get the job. I didn´t feel bad about it because I´ve always kept my priorities straight. I always thought, ok, one door is closed, the other will open. And I thought that man was miserable, not me. -------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

I work in film and I´m currently working on a short film about eviction, about child´s perception of eviction. That happened to me when I was 14. Me and my mother, single mother. Everything around me changed, I moved to a weird and wrong place for that age, my mother and I shared a room while I was in puberty. I ignored that for a long time as a big part of my life but then it was like, wait a minute, I was 14 when I went through that. Police comes to our home and says sorry. Well, they don´t say sorry, just go out. That brought out my fighting spirit to be persistent and try to build a home where I can have some consistency. -------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

Some women approach me and say, I am also old. I ask- how old. They say 80. When I was 80, oh, all the places I went to… I still drove my bicycle, later I just pushed it but now I don´t go to the city anymore. It was nice to live. It is nice to live. I´m sorry that I´m not young anymore. I´m sorry, but you can´t. You have to die. That´s how it is. But I love my life.  -------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

The role that is assigned to women is to be both a mother and a business woman and the presentation that is included. To present how easy she handles it all. It´s not like that only in Croatia, but in the whole western world. That makes me sad. For my whole life I was sensitized to women and women´s issues and one of the ways I participate is that I became a doula. Regardless of the fact that I´m not a mother, I have a need even through the work I do separately, to work as a doula as a support through giving birth. --------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

The complaint I wrote concerning my department was very well thought through. It wasn´t impulsive, I thought about it a lot. Because I think that the whole Academy policy consists of the attitude that you have to become strong to be an artist which is by academic standards established through systematic humiliation and belittling. Sexism is something completely different. I think that my professors who were all male maybe don´t even realize when something is sexism. And that people who now teach at the Academy reexamine are they repeating the pattern they fought against when they were studying. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

I came from Syria four years ago.  When my husband died, I decided to leave my hometown. For me it´s very hard. I´m an architect and I didn´t find a job.  I have nothing, i have no job, I have nothing, this year was very hard. I don´t like to waste time so I finished courses for a caregiver and for pastry cook. I want to get a job. I really like making pastries, I want to work in that field. I know it´s hard to find a job for my degree.  I really love Croatia, I have peace here, people here are good and like to help. When I was in Syria, I thought I would live well for the rest of my life there. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

I think my mother didn´t get a chance to see the world in a wider perspective. She was raised completely different, in a village near Koprivnica. She came to the city and she told me, first of all she wanted to go to musical school. She couldn´t go, her older brother was given that chance. They barely let her go to Zagreb, to a geodetic high school. That was her next dream and she finished it but there was no money for college. She told me that while in high school she had exactly… she didn´t have money for a coffee or a sandwich. She ate only what was served in the home. No fun, just studying and that was all. She didn´t get the chance to have a group of friends and create opinions other than those she was imposed to have. So I don´t blame her for our differences because I had a beautiful chance to open myself to the world. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

The thing which was really hard was when I decided to go to public, to the media. Unlike those who thought I was pushing myself, being everywhere, that was a sacrifice for me. I´m not a celebrity, I haven´t sold more books. The only thing I got was hate speech and on the other hand appreciation. But it seemed since I was sure I can speak and articulate well that it´s important for that voice to be heard and I was ready to take that sacrifice. It was tough sometimes, there were days when I cried. When someone writes: it´s a pity that cancer didn´t eat you. That shocks you. But I am quite tough. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.
