The Kingdom of the Netherlands Embassy, in cooperation with the Center for Women’s Studies, the CITY Cultural Center and cities in Serbia, invites all interested street artists to participate in the creation of murals dedicated to the most important women of the 20th and 21st centuries within the project “Exceptional women of Serbia”.
Through this competition, artists from all over Serbia will have the opportunity to depict ten exceptional women by painting a mural (of about 4 x 4 meters): Požega – Mitra Mitrović, Aleksinac – Jelena J. Dimitrijević, Kragujevac – Ljubica Marić, Kruševac – Vera Nikolić, Niš – Jovanka Bončić Katerinić, Novi Sad – Verica Crvenčanin Kulenović, Belgrade – Gina Ranjičić and Jelisaveta Načić, Tutin – Hafiza Demirović, Grocka – Branislava Perović.
Among the selected women who will be the inspiration for the murals are revolutionaries, activists, designers, benefactors, politicians, poets, writers, lawyers, pedagogues, composers, sportists, feminists. What they have in common is their feminine strength, solidarity, strong and unwavering spirit in the fight for the women emancipation and equal position. Within this project, a kind of recognition will be given to them – new generations will meet them, and more experienced will be reminded of the importance of these authentic heroines of their time.
The project is implemented in cooperation with the administrations of the mentioned cities. Funds for the material are provided, as well as fees for artists. Entries that are not selected will not be used for other purposes. It is possible to apply for multiple murals, but one person can only be selected for one mural. Artists from the mentioned municipalities are encouraged to apply for the creation of murals in their city. The creation of the mural is planned for February and March, as part of the celebration of International Women’s Day. To apply, you need to send a short biography in English, an illustration of previous works and a sketch for the proposed mural. Applications and requests for additional information can be sent to e-mail: nlmurali@gradbeograd.eu.
Due to great interest, the application was extended until 10th February 2022.
