The Feminist Art Colony was launched 110 years after the first Art Colony in Sićevo, whose founder was the painter and humanitarian Nadežda Petrović. The goal of the Feminist Art Colony is to empower 10 young female artists to include feminist themes in their work, to enable them to create together and connect with each other, as well as to provide them with a public space in which to exhibit their art.
The jury for the selection of female artists consists of:
Sanja Solunac - visual artist and activist;
Bojana Fuzinato - visual artist and curator;
Tatjana Nikolić - Executive Coordinator of the Center for Girls;
Marija Virijević - program coordinator of the Center for Girls.
During the Feminist Art Colony, an accompanying program will be organized for the participants.
The artists are provided with:
- travel expenses that will be refunded after the delivery of travel tickets to the Center for Girls (participants coming from other countries will be refunded until the end of the colony);
- accommodation (7 nights with all meals);
- art studio and necessary material;
- joint exhibition.
All participants of the Feminist Art Colony are required to sign a cooperation agreement, to agree to the work regulations, to leave three works created at the colony and to read the Rider that they will receive before the colony.
The Feminist Art Colony received support from the Swiss government, as part of the "Culture for Democracy" project, which is run by the Hartefakt Fund. The colony was supported by OAK and Trag Foundation.
