Regional Lab: New Culture Spaces and Networks as drivers of an Innovative and Sustainable Bottom-up Development of Regional Collaboration

Coordinated by the Kooperativa platform, the Regional Lab: New Culture Spaces and Networks as drivers of an Innovative and Sustainable Bottom-up Development of Regional Collaboration project brings together networks and cultural centres from six countries of the ex-Yugoslav region:

Anibar (Kosovo), Društvo Asociacija (Slovenia), Jadro Association (North Macedonia), Operacija grad (Croatia), Asocijacija NKSS (Serbia) and OKC Abrašević (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Drawing on the innovative practices developed on the independent cultural scenes, our aim is to offer a framework and infrastructure for exchanging, strengthening and advocating new, democratic and participatory models of governance, as well as for region-wide activity and mutual support of independent cultural actors.

During a three-year period we will implement various activities, including discursive and educational programs, advocacy, and publishing:

~ MENTORSHIP – capacity building program for artists and cultural workers

~ TWINNING – capacity building program for organizations and cultural centers

~ EXCHANGE – circulation of art works and artistic productions within the region through program exchange between independent cultural centers

~ OHRID SUMMER SCHOOL – educational format that combines peer to peer workshops, lectures, presentations of experiences, debates, discussions and working groups with the topic of innovative participatory models of governance

~ SOURCE BOOKS – evidence based publications gathering and articulating knowledge on innovative bottom-up developments in the region of Southeast Europe (i.e. innovative models of organization, governance, and program collaborations)

~ ADVOCACY – a series of encounters, public events, and advocacy activities towards the policy makers in 8 countries of Southeast Europe aiming to provide support for artists and cultural operators on the local and national level who are facing difficulties within their local environments

Through this intensive collaboration we will attempt to offer a regional, solidary response to the crisis of not only our cultural sectors, but also the wider democratic processes in our societies.

Further updates on our activities will be available on our website’s news feed and our social media channels.

The project is co-funded by the European Union, Creative Europe programme (2014-2020), as part of the open call aimed at strengthening cultural cooperation and competitiveness of the cultural and creative industries in the Western Balkans.
