NOVI SAD 2022

Novi Sad was 2022 the first European Capital of Culture in a EU-accession country and thus became one of the more than 60 cities that took this title, fostering the richness of diversity and interculturalism.

The main idea of the "4 New Bridges" programme narrative aimed to leave Novi Sad firm legacies that improve the cultural life of the city: new programmes, new processes, involved people (citizens, cultural institutions, associations, organisations, artists) and new spaces for culture. 

That was exactly why the vision of the project was: ‘The Beginning of New. Now!’
The opening ceremony of the title year was held on 13 January 2022 within Doček, one of the most important legacy projects:
Doček celebrated two New Years, two calendars, two time calculations through visual and performing arts and thus celebrates the intercultural characteristic of Novi Sad, at a time when different ethnic communities celebrate their holidays in the city. 

Exactly 352 days later, also within Doček, Novi Sad has symbolically closed the title year on       31 December, 2022.
