Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to initiate and strengthen women’s/feminist artistic/cultural praxis deconstructing the concept of monolithic, ”universal culture”. That way we want to deny the idea of cultural re-presentations as universal ones, to show up them to be just constructions generated by the centers of (patriarchal) political power. So, our activity is based on the following principles: culture is not universal, culture is not non-political, culture is not non-gendered. By promoting feminine culture (par excellence culture of otherness) we are going to take part in the creation of new culture that would come out of truly interaction of different cultures - identities, social, political and aesthetic positions. Our aims are: - Initiating and organizing the art projects, workshops and educative programs; - Women artists linking up and different networking forms; - Establishing international cooperation with similar groups and organizations; - Strengthening women’s arts infrastructure in Montenegro; - Making influence on the culture policy creators.
