KUD C3 Society for Culture and Arts

KUD C3 Society for Culture and Arts, established in 2000, is a platform for research of the urban public spaces. Main focus of KUD C3 are communities in urban environments and relations between its inhabitants to the space they live in. In their projects KUD C3 chooses key places in urban environments and tries to involve 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.

Interventions in urban spaces

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 Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Slovenia. The project took place in Ljubljana's suburb Zalog, which involved deprivileged 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 Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (MSUM). In the framework of CULBURB the Zalog project was presented at Gallery MC in New York.

International cooperation

Since its inception KUD C3 conducted several projects, involving international architects, urbanists, sociologists and city planning experts. In 2012-2013 KUD C3 conducted a EU-funded project CULBURB, Cultural Acupuncture Treatment for Suburbs of cities in Central Europe, which involved four art groups from different fields: The Meeting Stripe, Womenspace, Design Your City, Conversations, Down By the Water.
