Belgrade Women's Histories Walking Tour
This is not your typical city walking tour. These unique explorations are led by local artists, curators, and architects, designed through their own research interests, providing different pulses of Belgrade. Each walk will have its own unique focus on the diverse and ever-changing city landscape, revealing its marginalized histories, and vibrant multicultural identity through different senses and insights.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Our guide will meet you at the entrance of SKC. It is an important place for remembering the history of the second-wave feminist and anti-war movements in former Yugoslavia due to the fact that it hosted The international conference Comrade Woman: Women’s Question – A New Approach? (Drug-ca Žena: Žensko Pitanje – Novi Pristup?) in 1978. It was the first autonomous feminist meeting in former Yugoslavia, and beyond—the first conference of this kind initiated in non-Western-European context, and in a socialist country. Comrade Woman gathered a number of significant feminist theorists and artists from various different cities in Yugoslavia. Together with the guide you will discuss different thematic questions: women, capitalism, social change; women’s culture; and the role of women in revolutionary movements and the beginning of the Yugoslav Wars.
In this part you will be visiting the monument of Nadezhda Petrovic, the Serbia's most famous expressionist and fauvist female artist. Then our guide will offer you to sit on the lawn in a circle. She will share some archival photographs that depicted well-known anti-war actions organised by Women in Black in the early 1990s that took place in Pionirski park. The park is also near by the House of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia in front of which one of the iconic scenes happened during the anti-war protests when a tank was parked in front of the building.
The tour will continue by passing school named after Drinka Pavlovic, a Yugoslav teacher, participant in the People's Liberation War of Yugoslavia (1941-1945). On the school's facade you will be able to see a mural that celebrates gender-sensitive language. In this part our guide will talk about present-day struggles around gender equality in language.
