LocationsWOMEN EMBRACING CULTURE THROUGH MURALS
July 5, 2023
Art plays a vital role in society, as a powerful tool for expression, creativity, and social change. Art has many facets; it promotes unity and connects us with our culture and our community. It also has the power to inspire young people to think differently, break down prejudices and imagine a better future. Last year, the civil society organization “Futja Ngjyrë” - supported by the ReLOaD 2 program which is funded by the European Union in partnership with UNDP - launched a project called “Promaja”. The project aims to harness the power of art and embrace Mitrovica’s cultural heritage through all art forms. A pioneer in driving the art scene of Mitrovica, the CSO seeks to engage young people in the process of celebrating and preserving cultural identity through a series of workshops, murals, podcasts, and a documentary about Mitrovica’s cultural heritage.
