On February 11, 2026, WAVES – Women’s Artistic Voices for Equality and Solidarity, a project funded by the European Union through the Creative Europe programme, officially launched—marking a historic milestone for Kosovo’s cultural scene: Artpolis becomes the first organization from Kosovo to lead a Creative Europe project in the field of performing arts.

This step goes beyond institutional boundaries—it represents a new wave for feminist art and European collaboration, flowing from Prishtina toward Europe.

WAVES is a transnational project that brings together four theatre-focused organizations: Artpolis (Kosovo), Eja në Teatër (Albania), Mi-Fugue Mi-Raison (France), and ART-Playback (Ukraine).

Its mission is clear and bold: to empower marginalized voices through feminist art, challenge anti-gender narratives, and build sustainable, inclusive, and resilient communities across Europe.

This project is a statement that Kosovo not only participates in Europe, but leads. A statement that feminist art is transformative power. A statement that waves that begin here can resonate across the entire continent.

The WAVES project is funded by the European Union through the Creative Europe Programme.
