Hate poetry reading in Belgrade
A reading of Hate Poetry was organized at Belgrade’s new Centre for Contemporary Literature by a civil rights activist and the head of a journalists organization.
Centre for Cultural Decontamination chief Borka Pavicevic and Independent Journalists’ Society of Vojvodina President Nedim Sejdinovic read the threatening messages they received over the past few years on social media and in comments on a number of web sites.
Pavicevic told the gathering that hate speech >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << is a form of expression for violence adding that the public reading of hate messages as art means freedom from blackmail and fear.
Sejdinovic said that hate speech in Serbia is state policy with a clear mechanism. “First you are targetted by someone in the authorities, then by the regime media followed by a salvo of threats and insults,” he said and added that the goal of that policy is to make ordinary decent people leave the country or give up any political or social engagement.
Sejdinovic gave the Centre for Contemporary Literature his organization’s broken mailbox, saying it was “the artistic material form of hate speech”.
