On 27-30 May, NGO Artpolis organized Kosovo’s first festival for human rights to showcase women artists from the region. “Femmes Fatales” took place at Oda Theatre in Prishtina.
The festival provided a platform for celebrating women’s creativity through art, said Zana Hoxha-Krasniqi, the Executive Director of Artpolis. It “built a forum for women artists in Kosova and provided them with the opportunity to display their work, encouraging women to share their ideas and linking them with women’s’ organizations.”
The four days involved theatre plays, films, exhibitions, concerts, discussions, book promotions and performances by womeon artists from Kosova and the region.
“It’s a very good thing that this initiative has been taken in Kosova and that it is regional,” a member of the audience said. “We have a lot of women artists and activists who have a lot to share.”
Artpolis is a KWN member organization that aims to impact cultural development through social dialogue, especially among youth, women and children. It uses theatre as a tool for empowerment and raising public awareness about women’s rights.
