Zagreb Women’s Guide is an ongoing research-based art project which, in line with contemporary historiographical trends, symbolically points the role and position of women within specific historical periods, social spheres, and/or order of everyday life.
The project was continuously developed and realized in various forms and in collaboration with different cultural associations from 2002 to 2006. In its new form, with new research activities and an expanded team of researchers, the project was renewed in 2024 in collaboration with the Zagreb City Museum and the Collection of Croatian Women Painters Born in the 19th Century. In 2025, three issues of the project’s magazine will be published, with the first issue featuring articles on the history of women’s labour rights and the history of childbirth in Zagreb and beyond.
Project authors: Barbara Blasin (graphic designer, artist, project researcher), Ana Lovreković (historian, museologist, project researcher), Igor Marković (culturologist, project researcher), Tihana Puc (curator at the Zagreb City Museum, art historian, project researcher), Dubravka Zima (professor of Croatian language and literature, project researcher).
