Cultural Center Magacin invites you to the panel discussion “Building Something out of Something” and publication launch of “Magacin: A Model for a Self-organized Cultural Center” as part of the encounter “Make it til you make it”.

Panel Discussion: Irena Boljunčić Gracin (TEH / Centar Rojc, Croatia), Miodrag Kuč (ZKU, Berlin), Jan Bohme (Zentralwerk, Dresden), Ksenija Djurović (KC Magacin, Belgrade) / moderation: Iva Čukić.

The panel “Building Something out of Something” will present several European spaces that operate outside the mainstream public or commercial sectors and create significant social or cultural value in the city. As we share the recognition that these spaces are often fragile from an economic and organisational viewpoint, the panel seeks to explore the underlying financial and governance models, and terms of access and use, with the ambition to learn from these experiences and explore some of the elements that can be applied in different contexts.

Magacin Cultural Centre is a cultural and social centre and it is a resource managed by the community of users according to the commonly established rules. In the past few years, the number of regular users of Magacin has grown rapidly. The presence of a large number of active individuals and associations that carry out their programmes in Magacin contributes to the preservation and improvement of the space and making it more visible and significant.

Nevertheless, this structural change has brought challenges and revealed the weaknesses in some aspects of managing the space. Therefore, the need to improve the model was perceived at the end of 2018, and in early 2019 a work group was formed to design a new model of managing and using the space. The aim was to develop some of the functional unwritten practices and structures into a functioning model of management and organization for everyone using the space. Here, we present a publication which gathers concrete elements of the new organisational structure, values, principles and conditions of use, management principles and the space capacities of Magacin. Hence, it represents the desire to share the experience gained through designing and improving of the common resource management model, and to provide a knowledge base for future practices.

Trans Europe Halles (TEH) is a Europe-based network of cultural centres initiated by citizens and artists. TEH has been at the forefront of re-purposing Europe’s industrial buildings for arts, culture and activism since 1983. As of 2018, TEH has brought together 109 multidisciplinary cultural centres and other cultural organisations from across Europe. TEH’s mission is to strengthen the sustainable development of non-governmental cultural centres and encourage new initiatives by connecting, supporting and promoting them. They facilitate international cooperation, provide opportunities for learning and sharing, and promote the practice, impact and value of arts and culture.

ZK/U seeks to develop projects, co-produce knowledge and share values created through exchanges. ZK/U does not offer a fixed set of ideas and principles for its fellows. Rather, individual projects and needs shape what could be described as a continuous formation. Instead of letting the ‘final product’ constrain the possible routes that a practice might take, ZK/U focuses on the processes that come from, and feed into, the particular contexts of the fellows’ practice, whether they be locally-defined situations or international discourses.

ZENTRALWERK was established in 2005 and is a heterogeneous group of artists and art-related people who, acting as the cultural branch of the cooperative, have their main venue at Zentralwerk. The association’s members offer a variety of professional profiles, bundling their artistic potential in interdisciplinary projects. Taking the industrial history of the place as a reference, they see themselves as a cultural factory that is characterized by close and regular collaboration between the association’s members, by networking and exchange. This allows them to realize ambitious and socially valuable projects.

ROJC Alliance (Pula, Croatia) is a unique gathering place for civil society organisations, encouraging their development under a common roof in a place of revived cultural heritage while also hosting numerous social events. Situated in an Austro-Hungarian structure dating back to the 1870s, today the centre is host to 108 associations from various fields (culture, sports, psychosocial care and health services, activities for children and young people, care for persons with special needs, environmental protection, technical culture, national minorities etc.). Thousands of Rojc inhabitants and their visitors pass through its painted hallways and stairways each week – bringing to life the “streets” of Rojc.

This event is the opportunity to introduce to a wider audience several cultural and social centers and practices in various socio-economic circumstances, the new model for Magacin and the publication, both in English and Serbian, that brings together certain principles, values, and structures of this self-organized space.

The event is free of charge, no pre-registration needed.

Kulturni centar Magacin poziva vas na panel diskusiju “Building Something out of Something/ Građenje nečega iz nečega“ i promociju publikacije „Magacin: Model samoorganizovanog kulturnog centra“, u okviru susreta „Make it til you make it” /„Radi dok ne uradiš“.

Panel diskusija (na engleskom): Irena Boljunčić Gracin (TEH / Centar Rojc, Hrvatska), Miodrag Kuč (ZKU, Berlin), Jan Bohme (Zentralwerk, Drezden), Ksenija Đurović (KC Magacin, Beograd) / moderator: Iva Čukić.

Panel „Building Something out of Something/Građenje nečega iz nečega” predstaviće nekoliko evropskih prostora koji nisu deo mejnstrima javnog ili komercijalnog sektora, a koji stvaraju značajne društvene ili kulturne vrednosti u svom gradu. S obzirom da znamo da su ovi prostori često krhki sa ekonomskog i organizacionog stanovišta, ovaj panel nastoji da istraži finansijske modele i modele upravljanja na kojima se zasnivaju, kao i uslove dostupnosti i korišćenja, sa željom da uči iz tih iskustava i istraži neke elemente koji se mogu primeniti u različitim kontekstima.

Kulturni centar Magacin je kulturno-društveni centar i predstavlja resurs kojim upravlja zajednica korisnika prema zajednički utvrđenim pravilima. U poslednjih nekoliko godina broj redovnih korisnika Magacina je naglo porastao. Prisustvo velikog broja aktivnih pojedinaca i udruženja koji realizuju svoje programe u Magacinu doprinosi očuvanju i unapređenju prostora i njegovoj sve većoj vidljivosti i značaju.

Ipak, ova strukturna promena donela je nove izazove i pokazala slabosti u pojedinim aspektima upravljanja prostorom. Stoga je, krajem 2018. godine, uočena potreba za unapređenjem postojećeg modela, a početkom 2019. godine je oformljena radna grupa za izradu novog modela upravljanja prostorom i njegovog korišćenja. Cilj je bio da se neke od funkcionalnih praksi i struktura bez pisanih pravila pretoče u funkcionalni model upravljanja i organizacije za svakoga ko koristi prostor. Ovde predstavljamo publikaciju koja sadrži konkretne elemente nove organizacione strukture, vrednosti, principe i uslove korištenja, principe upravljanja i prostorne kapacitete Magacina. Dakle, ona predstavlja želju da se podeli iskustvo stečeno kroz sastavljanje i unapređenje modela upravljanja zajedničkim resursom i obezbedi baza znanja za buduće prakse.

Trans Europe Halles (TEH) je evropska mreža kulturnih centara koje su osnovali građani i umetnici. Od 1983. godine, TEH prednjači u menjanju namene industrijskih zgrada u Evropi; pretvara ih u mesta umetnosti, kulture i aktivizma. Od 2018. godine TEH okuplja 109 multidisciplinarnih kulturnih centara i drugih kulturnih organizacija širom Evrope.

Misija TEH je da ojača održivi razvoj nezavisnih kulturnih centara i podstiče nove inicijative tako što ih povezuje, podržava i promoviše.

Omogućavaju i olakšavaju međunarodnu saradnju, pružaju mogućnosti za učenje i razmenu i promovišu praksu, uticaj i vrednost umetnosti i kulture.

ZK/U nastoji da razvije projekte, zajednički stvara znanje i deli vrednosti nastale razmenom. ZK/U svojim članovima ne nudi definisani set ideja i principa. Pre bi se moglo reći da pojedinačni projekti i potrebe oblikuju ono što bi se moglo opisati kao kontinuirano stvaranje. ZK/U ne dozvoljava da „konačni proizvod“ ograničava moguće smerove prakse, već se fokusira na procese koji proizlaze iz određenih konteksta praksi članova i unose se u njih, bilo da je reč o lokalno definisanim situacijama ili međunarodnim diskursima.

ZENTRALWERK:

Osnovana 2005. godine, heterogena grupa umetnika i ljudi povezanih sa umetnošću, koji djeluju kao kulturni ogranak zadruge, sa glavnim prostorima u Zentralwerk-u.

Članovi udruženja različitih profesionalnih profila, udružuju svoje umetničke potencijale u radu na interdisciplinarnim projektima. Uzimajući industrijsku prošlost mesta kao referencu, vide sebe kao kulturnu fabriku koju karakteriše bliska i redovna saradnja među članovima udruženja koju ostvaruju umrežavanjem i razmenom. To im omogućava da realizuju ambiciozne i društveno vredne projekte.

ROJC:

Društveni centar Rojc (Pula, Hrvatska) je jedinstveno mesto koje okuplja organizacije civilnog društva, podstiče njihov razvoj pod zajedničkim krovom – na mestu oživljenog kulturnog nasleđa, kao i mesto gde se odigravaju brojne društvene manifestacije. Centar je smešten u jednoj austrougarskoj građevini iz sedamdesetih godina XIX veka i danas udomljuje 108 udruženja različitih delatnosti (kultura, sport, psihosocijalna zaštita i zdravstvene usluge, aktivnosti za decu i mlade, briga o osobama sa posebnim potrebama, zaštita životne sredine, tehnička kultura, nacionalne manjine itd.). Nedeljno na hiljade stanovnika Rojca i njihovih posetilaca prolaze njegovim obojenim/oslikanim/raznobojnim hodnicima i stepeništima udahnjujući život „ulicama“ Rojca.

Ovaj događaj je prilika da se široj publici predstavi nekoliko kulturno-društvenih centara i praksi u različitim društveno-ekonomskim okolnostima, novi model za Magacin i publikacija, na engleskom i srpskom jeziku, koja donosi određene principe, vrednosti i strukture ovog samoorganiziranog prostora. Učestvovanje na događaju je besplatno i nije potrebna prethodna registracija.
