A Mother Was Born project with Lina Bošković

🌿 Lina Bošković is the creator of the A Mother Was Born project—a unique postpartum journal and support space designed for mothers during the first year after childbirth. She has completed training as a postpartum doula and is a practitioner of expressive arts therapy and coaching. She also brings extensive experience from the creative industries, the corporate sector, as well as theatre and film.

During the A Mother Was Born workshop, participants will explore the experiences, emotions, and transformations that accompany motherhood through collage-making and reflective expression. We will talk about matrescence—the profound transition and changes that motherhood brings—and each participant will have the opportunity to create a personal narrative and shed light on parts of her story that often remain unspoken.

Drawing on the principles of expressive arts therapy, the workshop offers a space for creative exploration, reflection, and connection with one’s own experience, without any need for prior artistic knowledge or skills.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is required. You can register by emailing akc.gnezdo@gmail.com.

The workshop is open to all mothers, regardless of when they became mothers.

Gnezdo FEST 2026 is part of the “Spaces of Freedom” project, supported by the European Union. The project is implemented by Zaječarska inicijativa in partnership with CK13 (Novi Sad), UG Fakiri sa juga (Kruševac), and K-town (Kosjerić).
