11-13.03.2025

From March 11th to 13th, 2025, Prishtina hosted the third international transnational meeting of the UNMASC project, bringing together partners from Artpolis (Kosovo), Kulturanova (Serbia), and Kulturhaus Brotfabrik (Austria). This strategic gathering aimed to evaluate progress, plan upcoming activities, and reinforce transnational cooperation in promoting gender justice through theatre and the arts.

The meeting commenced with an introduction to Artpolis and its ongoing initiatives, offering partners an in-depth understanding of the organization’s work in feminist art activism and cultural production. Discussions centered around the creation process of performances within the UNMASC framework, with partners outlining tour logistics, selecting key topics, finalizing dates, and defining necessary action points for the upcoming productions.

A key aspect of the meeting was the planning and recording of project-related podcasts, designed to further disseminate the core themes of UNMASC and engage wider audiences. The partners also focused on communication strategies, including enhancing the UNMASC website and developing an e-Book to document and share insights from the project. These initiatives aim to ensure the sustainability and broader impact of the project’s outcomes.

Additionally, partners exchanged experiences related to their work within the Creative Europe framework and discussed best practices in regional cooperation. This exchange fostered dialogue on potential future collaborations beyond UNMASC, strengthening cross-border networks committed to gender justice in the arts.

Furthermore, partners dedicated time to addressing March deliverables, working individually on pending tasks to ensure timely completion of project milestones.

The UNMASC Transnational Meeting in Prishtina reinforced the commitment of all partners to using theatre as a powerful tool for advocacy and change. Through continued collaboration and innovation, the project remains dedicated to dismantling gender inequalities and fostering inclusive artistic spaces across Europe.

This activity is part of the Creative Europe project “UNMASC! Promoting Gender Justice through Theatre”.
