Women in Public Space (II) presents a new series of photographs from a multi-year project by photographer and designer Barbara Blasin, which concerns the observation, recording and marking of the role, position and image of women in the public space of Zagreb. This exhibition continues the previous iterations of the project that took place over almost ten years under the titles City Section (2016) and Women in Public Space: Caring for the City (2023), which was awarded the best exhibition project by ULUPUH in 2023.

The longevity of the project and its open-ended course point to the changing situations that urban women live in contemporary society.
