The first expansion of the social card game Fierce Women – WoW Cards, featuring 30 new cards of fierce women (writers, feminists, activists, artists, journalists) from Croatia, Slovenia, Northern Macedonia and Ireland, is fresh out of print.

Inspiring herstories of fierce women included in the WoW Cards deck were transformed into unique works of art by 15 fierce artists (below) selected in a competition to which more than 300 people from all over Europe applied.

The new deck was created as a part the project Women on Women (WOW), implemented by four partner organizations City of Women (Slovenia), Tiiiit! Inc. (Northern Macedonia), Common Zone (Croatia), and Outlandish Theater Platform (Ireland).

WoW Cards is a promotional deck printed in a limited edition of 2000 copies. 

Thanks to the project Women on Women (WOW), aiming to give visibility to female role models, and herstories of inspirational women that change our societies for the better, Common Zone (Croatia), City of Women (Slovenia), Tiiiit! Inc. (North Macedonia), and Outlandish Theatre Platform (Ireland) are creating the first expansion deck of the Fierce Women card game.

We invited artists from all over Europe to help us present 30 Fierce Women from Croatia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, and Ireland. More than 300 artists from 27 countries in Europe sent us the most amazing artworks. It was hard to choose only 15 artists whose artworks are going to be included in Fierce Women WOW Cards deck, but here they are.

NAZLI KARATURNA

Nazli Karaturna, a young artist from Antalya, Turkey. She is studying Print Arts at Eskişehir Anadolu University in Turkey since 2017. “My illustrations’ characters often are centered on woman and their stories: their fears, desires, rebellion, and ultimately power”, she says.

She applied to our call for artists with the illustration of Nakie Bajram. “I felt immediately drawn to her. Her life story affected me not only because of her forward-thinking attitude, but I found a strong, direct relation to her. Born in the same country, I unfortunately know all too much how women continue to have the same concerns for their education, economic independence, security, position in society, and outlook for our futures”, she told us, concluding that her goal was to show the strengths of the individual, and help and inspire just as Nakie did.

Fierce Women WOW Cards will include her Nakie Bajram and Rajna Aleksova.
