Per.Art

Per.Art is an independent organization active in the field of contemporary performing arts in Serbia.

Since 1999, the ‘Art and Inclusion’ program of Per.Art organization gathers people with learning disabilities, artists (theatre, dance and visual arts), special educators, representatives of cultural institutions, philosophers, architects and students.

The main aims of the ‘Art and Inclusion’ program are the production of artistic projects in which people with learning disabilities have active role as authors, co-authors and performers, and the promotion of their work on an equal basis within the local and international contemporary performing arts and visual arts scene.

Our projects were presented in theatres and museums across Serbia and abroad in Berlin, Hamburg and Bon (Germany), Geneva and Basel (Switzerland), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Skopje (Macedonia), Rimini (Italy) and Kotor (Montenegro).

In 2005, we founded the Network of cultural institutions for promotion of inclusion in Novi Sad, with the aim to ensure the equality of people with learning disabilities in social and cultural sphere, and their frequent presence in the public sphere.

Our main partners are The Serbian National Theatre, The Gallery of Matica srpska, ŠOSO “Milan Petrović” and Erste bank.
