City of Women celebrates diversity. The festival is a platform for a variety of opinions and perspectives of artists and theoreticians from all around the world. The festival aims to articulate the position of women in contemporary society through marginalised perspectives as well as attempts to bring different political and social emphases to the established conceptions of modernity. Thus, the 2007 edition of the festival, entitled Laugh Out Loud!, among others presented the international curatorial and artistic project Humour Works, which dealt with the positive and negative consequences of precarious working conditions in the context of "Eastern" Europe, while the 2008 edition, titled Raw Symbiosis, focused on the understanding of culture and the legitimation of power relations through discourses about nature, to man's relation to animals, and to technology as the new nature of man.
The 17th edition of the festival in October 2011 was called Abrakadabra featuring the secrecy, illusions, rites and pure imagination that actually reflect the social, political and individual transformations. Further editions of the festival were Aging (2012), Let's create a place for ourselves (2013), Survival Tactics (2014), and The Body - My Territory (2015).
Events are held at various sites around town, ranging from established cultural institutions to alternative spaces. Apart from performances and exhibitions, the festival features round-table debates, lectures, and workshops, focusing on themes dealing with key problems of modern women and highlighting other marginalised social phenomena.
During the last years, the festival offers an increasing number of its own productions and co-productions, mainly from the field of performing arts and dance.
Since 2005, the festival also maintains a web platform COWeb - City of Women Goes Web!, intended to be an ad-hoc publication of critical writing in relation to the festival's events and to art in general. Each year a number of establishing critics join the team and covers the events.
