Imagine 10 years from now - year 2018. You are still a cultural practitioner, or maybe not. What are you busy with? Where are you located, does your organization still have the same address as in 2008? What is your network?  Where do your resources come from (what is your economy) and in what kind of cultural climate is your country/city? How local is your scene and with whom are you (not) cooperating? Are you busy with these issues at all?

Stadium CultureThe damaging decade of nationalism and crisis in Serbia during the ’90s resulted in the total neglect of both official and unofficial institutions for the youth, now yielding dangerous outcomes. STADIUM CULTURE is an ongoing project to renovate and expand an existing open handball stadium located in Novi Sad to become an electronic youth center and event place. The main challenge in this project is to fortify support and infrastructure for youth culture in a city that had plenty of state support during both the Serbian and Yugoslav Kingdoms before the WWII and the Socialist era after WWII.
