The KUD C3 Society for Culture and Arts, established in 2000, is a platform for the research of urban public spaces. The main focuses of KUD C3 are the communities in urban environments and the relationship that inhabitants have to the space they live in. In their projects, KUD C3 chooses key places in urban environments and tries to involve the local community in transforming the socially-conditioned habitat. The projects take into account the architectural, economical, cultural, or gender-based characteristics of a certain urban settlement. The research of trends in urban studies focuses on interventions in public spaces in Slovenia (Ljubljana, Koper) and abroad (Central European cities). Members of KUD C3 include architects, choreographers, dancers, media artists, photographers, composers, theorists, translators, writers, and more.


Interventions in urban spaces

The project "Zalograd" is an outcome of the project "Public City", initiated by STEALTH.unlimited and KUD C3. It was conducted in cooperation with Zalog Youth Centre, Moderna galerija and supported by the Ministry of Culture and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Slovenia. The project took place in Ljubljana's suburb Zalog, which involved underprivileged members of the local community in building an inclusive social place that transformed their public and communal space with minimal spatial interventions. The project in Zalog was also exhibited at the 7th edition of U3 Triennial of Contemporary Slovene Arts in 2013, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (MSUM). In the framework of the project CULBURB the Zalograd project was presented at Gallery MC in New York.

International cooperation

Since its inception KUD C3 has conducted several projects, involving international architects, urbanists, sociologists, and city planning experts. In 2012–2013 KUD C3 was a co-organiser in the EU-funded project CULBURB, CULtural Acupuncture Treatment for SuBURBs of Cities in Central Europe, which involved organisations from Prague (project leader), Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana, Vienna, and Warsaw. The acupuncture interventions in Ljubljana took place mainly in Zalog with the help of 4 art groups with the themes of The Meeting Stripe, Womenspace, Design Your City, Conversations, and Down By the Water.
