Background
From the very start of the nineties onwards, one of the main centres for alternative cultural expressions in the coastal region was the MKC Koper Youth and Culture Centre, run by the Association of the Friends of Moderate Progress. It functioned roughly along the lines of a youth cultural centre and was open for various outside cultural producers. The leading figure of the Association and head of the MKC, Marko Brecelj, was politically very active and vocal and as one can gather, this was never exactly appreciated by the local politicos. So in 2014 – despite a nation-wide public outcry – the place was reclaimed by the Municipality of Koper-Capodistria.
Consequently, the local cultural protagonists and initiatives that were hosted at the MKC were left without a domicile and so took things into their own hands. As many of them adhered to the punk and DIY ethics, 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 which was run to the ground during the transition years and has stood 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.
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.
