As of 2017, the now former INDE premises have been re-privatised and are not a squat anymore.

Archival article

Creative Platform INDE is an autonomous social and cultural centre set at the squatted site of an abandoned factory in the coastal city of Koper. Appropriated in 2014 by a multitude of local cultural activists, artists, students and others, the place is a collectively and horizontally run space that hosts a varied array of non-profit activities, be them sports, concerts, arts exhibitions, or just plain socialising. As such, it is a continuous social experiment and an initiative with aims wider than just those of a cultural or a youth centre.

Besides its concrete, spatial dimension, INDE is also a collective that is running the place by way of assembly meetings, and a web platform publishing politically informed articles and reflections (in Slovene, English and Italian).

Background

In the past decade, the coastal region offered a very limited set of spaces for alternative cultural expressions. The main and almost only place for this was the MKC Koper Youth and Culture Centre, which functioned roughly along the lines of a youth cultural centre, but was also only partially open to outside producers. Consequently, the local cultural protagonists and initiatives, of whom many adhered to the punk and DIY ethics, decided in 2014 to set up their own place. Squatting an abandoned factory grounds was a logical next step.

INDE used to be a factory which employed disabled peoples (hence the acronym INDE, derived from Invalidna delavnica [The Disabled Workshop]) and was run to the ground during the transition years, standing abandoned since 2004. The act of renovating it into a new communal centre turned out to be a collective endeavour (with even people from Austria joining in) which led to a part of the place being cleaned and its basic infrastructure fixed. Two halls were accommodated and equipped with a stage, a DJ area, a lounge area and various other facilities. Some time later, a skate park was also built.

After MKC was – despite a nation-wide public outcry – in 2014 closed down by the Municipality of Koper-Capodistria, INDE became an even more important hub for creative, non-institutionalised and marginal activities in the region. Currently, the squat and it protagonists are in the midst of legality issues, with the owners filing judicial actions against the squatters. How things will evolve remains to be seen.

Programme

The programme at INDE started in the winter of 2015, and since than, the place has had concerts (from HC and punk gigs to singer-songwriter recitals), the Club Marathon tour, DJ events (techno, drum'n'bass, dub, reggae), regular movie nights, skate and BMX sessions and competitions, table tennis matches, arts lectures, Magic the Gathering meetings, photography exhibitions, poetry evenings (modelled in the style of the Young Rhymes), board games and lots of other activities.

-[[Creative Platform Inde]] is a squat in the coastal city Koper, which was appropriated in [[established::2014]] by the local youth after their previous youth centre was reorganised by the local municipality. Subsequently, the already active culture producers took over the grounds of the old factory INDE (Invalidska delavnica), until then not used from 2004, and gave it new content opf music, workshops and other stuff.

 ==Programme==
-The FIRST skate contest in the new INDE Skatepark took place on Saturday, 26th September 2015. The organizers were local skaters with the help from the Indean team (UPI Collective)  The event continued with a BBQ and a concert – the coastal bands Korte sexperience (punk/ska) and Recession (slave rock) and HC bend Kreshesh Nepitash from Trbovlje.
+The programme at INDE started in the winter of [[established::2015]], and since than, the place has had concerts (from HC and punk gigs to singer-songwriter recitals), the [[Club Marathon]] tour, DJ events (techno, drum'n'bass, dub, reggae), regular movie nights, skate and BMX sessions and competitions, table tennis matches, arts lectures, Magic the Gathering meetings, photography exhibitions, poetry evenings (modelled in the style of the [[Young Rhymes]]), board games and lots of other activities.
-BMX competition
-Ali: We arrived late, but not so much to miss Ali on hip hop and drumnbass rhythms. Undoubtedly one of the hottest MC’s currently in the Land below the Alps. Strong and energetic vocals in combination with hiphop gangsta rhythms. We would point out his rapping on drumnbass bases … We want more…
-Kalifat Dub: In big anticipation of a new project from well-known Haris Pilton, this time in the project KalifatDub with MC Chakka, Haris gave us a bit of a scare because while taking up the stage he fell down in all his glory. Fortunately for us he quickly recovered. KalifatDub started their bass wheelwork and took us through the Balkans and the Arab world with a view of our beloved island of Jamaica.  Gently but intensely we were carried away into dreamland by the mixture of genres in Kalifat Dub dub-reggae bases…. An excellent project from two veterans of the Balkan scene! Rakia for all!!
-Jahklin selekta (Jamcoast): Our Jahklin selekta arrived on the scene a little late with a bottle of water in his hands, which was promising a drumnbas-jungle spectacle. He started with a few reggae songs on vinyl but quickly switched to old school jungle. This was followed by some newer jungle pieces; before he switched to drumnbass … He finished it with a great reggae / dubwise selection. Jungle is a MUST!
