General Information
The Association for the Promotion of Women in Culture - City of Women was founded in 1996 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and was established with the aim of lobbying on gender issues and promoting equality. The project itself was initiated a year earlier in 1995 by the Slovenian government's former Office for Women's Policy (now The Equal Opportunities Office).The Association for the Promotion of Women in Culture - City of Women has the status of a non-governmental association, administered by an independent board of outstanding individuals drawn from various spheres of Slovenian culture, the arts and politics. Headed by its current honorary president, dr. Vesna Leskošek, the Association has a team of program collaborators and executive producers responsible for the selection, co-ordination and organisation of its program. Current art director of the festival is Mara Vujic with co-art director Predrag Pajdić. The City of Women program and activities have been facilitated through a network of partners, who have ensured financial support as well as conceptual input and feedback. The Association is engaged in ongoing collaborative projects with a variety of cultural and women's organisations, and works with external experts, international curators and selectors, for specific elements of its program. City of Women cooperates with numerous governmental and non-governmental Slovenian institutions (Cankarjev dom, Škuc Gallery, Alkatraz gallery, Glej Theatre, The museums and Galleries of the City of Ljubljana, Dance Theatre Ljubljana, Kinodvor…)and international partners as: in the frame of A Space for Live art: Antifestival (Finland), Les Subsistances (France), Acción!09MAD (Spain), New Territories (Great Britan), Trouble (Belgium), Interakcije (Poland), Kampnagel – Live Art Festival (Germany). Our activities are supported with Ministry of Culture of Republic of Slovenia, Municipality of Ljubljana / the Department for Culture, Hauptstadt Kulturfond, A Space for Live Art and some other foundations for particular projects or tours.
Mission and Objectives

The Association's primary objective is to produce and organise affirmative action projects in order to draw attention to the disproportionately low participation and representation of women in the field of arts and culture.
City of Women – The Association for Promotion of Women in Culture aims to raise the visibility of high-quality innovative creations by women artists, theoreticians and activists from all over the world. Since 1995, it has presented the artistic and cultural production of women in the performing arts, music, visual arts, film and video, literature and theory, and thereby aimed to provoke a debate and raise awareness as to the currently disproportionate participation and representation of women in arts and culture, as well as in society as a whole. City of Women simultaneously provides a platform that focuses upon and considers pertinent critical contemporary issues.
