Since 2010 the non-hierarchical initiative Lesbian Feminist University (LFU) functions as a platform for theoretical, educational and artistic practises for lesbians and women interested in feminist, anti-capitalist and antifascist issues. The name 'university' is meant to be self-ironic, the initiative namely supports bottom-up decision-making and active participation. Their women-only events are organised throughout the year and take place at Klub Tiffany at the Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone and which is managed by ŠKUC Association. The event announcements are published on the LFU blog where also study literature and video lectures can be found.
