KRATER

Kolektiv Krater is a group of transdisciplinary artists who have decided to transform their professions, studios and working conditions in order to act as advocates of a grassroots ecosystem in

an abandoned construction pit in Ljubljana. As it is constantly on the verge of extinction, they cultivate a creative resilience to tackle the urgency by coming up with innovative tactics, events and formats and by addressing administrative and other constraints as the subject of artistic intervention.                               

These campaigns call for alliances and community economies that open up new areas of regenerative, relational and critical creative practice. In addition to established practices such as nurturing biodiversity, Krater also hosts internationally renowned educational formats presenting new typologies of cultural work, laboratories for experimentation with biomaterials, exhibitions, conferences and other public programmes. Krater was also a finalist for the NEB Prize, receiving a special mention at the 35th Graphic Biennial and the Plečnik Medal for Public Space.
