Our Association is a group of culture creators, artists, animators, sociologists whose aim is to revive neglected places in the capital through the actions of its inhabitants. In our activities, we want to spread the ideas of conscious, engaged, sustainable design and reaching out to these groups in which these ideas have not yet been known.
Another very important pillar of our business is cultural education, always understood in the context of social needs and a very broad sense of cultural heritage. In education we focus on a direct contact with recipient, user space, whom we ask about dreams and needs of the space in which he/she lives. In working with children and young adolescents we focus on new media. Workshop topics are always about the problem of aesthetics, visuality and public space.
