The cultural activity, the guided tour "HerCity", was a unique experience in Timișoara, which took place twice on the same day given the large number of participants who wanted to join our initiative. The purpose of these tours was to offer an alternative feminist perspective on the city, focusing on local cultural specifics and bringing to the surface lesser-known cultural details of Timisoara''s rich history.
