Programme
For a start, UAUU itself is a permanent exhibition, with much of its equipment being unique pieces available for sale. It is equipped with a 360 degrees rotating wall, and is adaptable for very different uses – from designer clothes exhibitions and film screenings (among them was the Težina lanaca (The Weight of Chains, 2010) documentary) to music concerts and regular drawing workshops. In 2015, the month of May was dedicated to skateboarding culture, which for example featured workshops on renovating skateboards and on creating the so-called finger-skates, for which even a miniature skate-park was made.
UAUU occasionally organises guided tours around other events and venues in Ljubljana, like for example the Biennial of Graphic Arts.
Exhibitions
The programme is based upon initiatives that come from the various communities that intersect at UAUU. Its first exhibition presented the Ljubljana street arts scene, among them works by the graffiti clans 1107, ZEK Crew and Egotrip.
What followed is a a dense programme of exhibitions, with the artists often offering their works for sale. UAUU mostly (but not exclusively) presents creators from the local milieu, and of them one can mention the illustrator and designer Miha Kosmač, the Croatian street artist Chez, the painter and graffiti artist Evgen Čopi Gorišek, the clothes designer Von Ludvik, the sculptor Ana Mrovlje, and by students from the Department of textiles, graphic arts and design from Faculty of Natural Sciences.
