My childhood in Split was beautiful. Then came the occupation and we had to leave Split. Everyone went their separate ways. If I´m allowed to say- I am a partisan. I am proud, I tell everyone that. Because I didn´t leave just so, I went to fight for freedom. For freedom. My Split looked horrible in 1941, Rade Končar was shot in Šibenik and many more. How can you remain calm, how can you just watch or join them- no way. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

My mother and me are two completely different persons. Best comparison would be traffic lights on a crossroad. When one is red, the other is green and vice versa. It´s never the same at the same time. On the other hand when things got tough we were much closer, we were friends. But we are alike in other things. In a virtue, that I noticed in her- amount of care. Caring mother, she was always with us, always. When I returned home from school she was always at home with us. That´s something I „took“ from her and see in my relationship with my daughter, I´m an extremely caring parent. It´s important that she´s well. Sometimes I go to extremes, but I hope it will be forgiven. -------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

Considering that I have direct experience working with marginalized groups, first of all LGBTQ persons and youth, that patriarchy, heteronormativity, homophobia and transphobia affects me strongly, personally and on many levels. But I am aware of my privilege because I can be who I am, proudly and authentically every day. That´s why I think that it´s on me and people like me to fight for those who can´t and who are suffering and marginalized because of negligence, indifference and ignorance in our society. I also firmly believe that the fight for equality, emancipation and freedom of women has to be inclusive with as many allies as possible. And that it has to include other identities which are marginalized. -------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

First I have to say that my mother is a wonderful woman, she is a single mother, I don´t have any siblings. She works a lot in "Tommy" as a saleswoman. I think our resemblance is that I inherited her dreamy character. She used to love to write in high school as I do now. But she didn´t have that ambition to write a book or something. I don´t feel that understood in this society. Honestly I can´t wait to change my surroundings and find my crew from other places. Also, Zadar as a city, or Zagreb, wherever I end up could give me much more regarding literature; unlike Blato where there are rarely literature events, I really miss that. -------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

In this last year I was keeping my pregnancy because I am currently nine months pregnant. Even though I am pregnant I had that pregnancy spirit for some time now, the last couple of years. So the biggest change is that I don´t work right now, I am at home doing my own things and that imaginary creature which we hoped for, is growing biologically. Of course I have some hesitation regarding motherhood because I think it´s challenging. Because I don´t know, and in my opinion I have to think that, that I don´t know what kind of child I´ll have regarding her character and wishes. On the other hand I feel prepared to accept those challenges and handle them nobly. -------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

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.
