The Visible Ones (Croatian title: VIDLJIVE) is a multi–institutional project and exhibition of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MSU) in Zagreb,[1] with the Museum of Modern Art in Dubrovnik, Museum of Fine Arts (MLU) in Osijek, Gallery of Fine Arts in Split,[2] and Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMSU) in Rijeka. Work of over 100 female artists from the collections of these institutions and their programs is presented in this exhibition.
The central exhibition at MSU was held in Zagreb in 2023. Nearing the end of 2023 and during 2024 partner institutions in Rijeka, Split, Dubrovnik and Osijek take turns hosting a less extensive form of this exhibition.[3] The Visible Ones exhibition brings together the largest number of female authors and their works so far, offering a broad selection of female creativity over the past three decades.[4] The project is supported by the city of Zagreb, The Ministry of Culture and Media and with the cooperation of the European Parliament's Office in Croatia.[1]

The project focuses on the low representation of female artists in art collections of museum institutions, and some aspects of the contemporary artistic practice of female artists in Croatia. Author of the concept and project lead is Martina Munivrana (MSU), with associates: Jasminka Babić (GU Split), Vilma Bartolić (MMSU Rijeka), Branka Benčić (MMSU Rijeka), Valentina Radoš (MLU Osijek), Rozana Vojvoda (GU Dubrovnik) and Ana Škegro (MSU Zagreb).[1]
The research on female representation in art collections, public spaces and galleries, as well as on the art market, showed that female artists are only represented in around ten percent of works. This initiative seeks to resolve this by increasing female visibility and representation in the field of visual arts. The research was focused on the art created after the nineties of the so-called transition years. Social changes which started during the 1990s and are still happening have marginalized many female artists. This indirectly affected museum acquisitions and exhibition, as well as public visibility.[1]
