The project is intended for an unconventional space. The inspiration and reason for the project is the life and work of women who worked in the periods of construction and modernization of civil society, who pushed the boundaries in their fields and very often were the first women who worked in certain fields - ahead of their time. We dedicate this project to them as well as to our contemporaries.

Artists in the project use contemporary artistic language that corresponds to the times and has the potential to draw the attention of the audience to the achievements of women who are part of our cultural heritage, but have not been given the importance and visibility they deserve. This scenic Installation takes place in several rooms/spaces, and each room is dedicated to one or more of the women who are the inspiration for the work. At the same time, the works do not have a biographical approach, but a conceptual and transformative one, which brings artistic originality to every element-piece of this multimedia project.

Inspired by the lives of women who were pioneers in their fields in our society: Danica Tomić (1905-1960), the first licensed female pilot in Serbia; Ljubica Marić (1909-2003), the first female composer in Serbia; Jelisaveta Načić (1878-1955), the first female architect in Serbia; Ksenija Atanasijević (1894-1981), philosopher and the first female doctor of science in our country; Anica Savić Rebac (1892-1953), Serbian writer, historian of philosophy, translator and professor at the University of Belgrade; Beta Vukanović (1872-1972), the originator of the first artistic caricature in our country; Jelena Šantić (1944-2000), ballerina and choreographer, human rights activist, pacifist who was among the first to speak out against wars and destruction in the 90s; Jelena J.
