The main topic of discussion was the title of Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture 2021. Considering the opportunities that this title brings, Minja Mikić, who lives and works in Italy, shared her experience when it comes to artistic practices of European capitals with the wholehearted desire to engage in the project „Novi Sad 2021 „.
