This two-year programme (2023-2024) aims to foster collaboration and engagement among comic authors and illustrators with the goal of investigating and addressing gender issues in comics as well as empowering female comic artists through residencies, exhibitions, and conferences.
WOMCOM is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Commission.

Group exhibitions and participation in festivals, including Novi Sad Comic Book Weekend (Serbia), PesText Festival (Hungary), Stripovanje Festival (Montenegro), Ohoho Festival (Croatia), and Tinta Festival (Slovenia).
Two conferences to serve as platforms for open discussions among artists, creatives, scholars, curators, art managers, editors, publishers, and activists.
