After two years of international collaboration, the major European project FemminiCity is bringing its grand finale to Novi Sad, with three days of theatre, education and practical preventive healthcare activities that place women’s issues at the heart of public discussion. From 22 to 24 October, at the Novi Sad Cultural Centre, the festival will bring together artists from France, Slovenia, Romania, Poland and Serbia. Through five distinct theatrical approaches, it will explore issues that transcend national borders and concern us all.

Alongside five theatre productions, the programme includes art installations, an exhibition, an expert lecture on violence against women and free preventive breast examinations.
