Boštjan Bugarič, KUD C3 Society for Culture and Arts, presenting the CULBURB project - Stories from Zalog
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.
In November 2014 KUD C3 collaborated with the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana (UAM, Mexico City) and various local partners in order to set up an urban laboratory. The intervention aimed at inclusion of local users in a more coherent development of the community. The international project The Hall of Mirrors tackles urban communities within a residential program of Casa Imelda in Mexico City. The project addressed mainly the usage of water and the community coexistence in the barrio of Santa Maria la Ribera in the Mexico City, which is a megalopolis built on a former lake, however, facing today a lack of clean water for its inhabitants.
In September 2015 an interactive Blind Date of European architects, planners and experts in urban development is to be organized in Ljubljana, in cooperation with Wonderland and the Museum of Architecture and Design in Ljubljana. Under the title Urban Realities three selected teams and local experts will collaborate to propose some solutions for reanimation of abandoned construction pits in the city of Ljubljana.
