We create gender-equal society by presenting women’s culture, art and creative work and by reassessing women’s historical heritage.
Heroines are dedicated to our most distinguished scientists, artists, patronesses, activists and other women who changed the world. Mileva Marić Einstein, Marija Trandafil, Milica Stojadinović Srpkinja, and Milica Tomić are some of the important figures of national history and culture who inspired exhibitions, plays concerts and other events we can expect within the programme arch.
Women have played key roles in the history of Novi Sad. That is why the Heroines programme arch deals with female creativity, encouraging and promoting female culture, art and creativity. The arch promotes female historical heritage for the sake of equal society.
