PitchWise – the first festival of women arts demonstrates the energy and power of art-driven individuals from all walks of life who are combining various artistic expressions with their personal sense of social responsibility, embracing fresh, vibrant and alternative reality in culture of BiH and the region.
The idea for a women festival of engaged arts stemms from the recognition that space for women that does exist does not suffice compared to an abundance of women who are addressing burning issues and/or brining changes trough what they do – whether in arts or through fighting for women human rights.
PitchWise festival events address burning issues in our respective countries and communities through different art forms, thus providing not only possible solutions to various issues, but also empowering individuals to take part in and take control of their lives and future.
PitchWise is the place of belief that arts in combination with activism and social – change – driven activities present the very much needed balance in our daily life, ensuring that we can both make the changes in our environment while remaining intact with our individual needs and expression.
