Around, Through and Apropos Crnica (Conversations on Crnica II)

“Around, Through and Apropos Crnica (Conversations on Crnica II)” is a workshop conceived in a festival format, taking place from March 6–8 in Šibenik. It is intended for all interested citizens of Šibenik, as well as anyone intrigued by the area of the former TEF factory and the Crnica neighborhood. The program is divided into three (mutually independent) parts: Around Crnica, Through Crnica, and Apropos Crnica.

The workshop is part of the ALILAND (Art Living Lab to Repair the Land) project and was developed by young professionals in urbanism, architecture, and landscape: Bruna Alfier, Katarina Nanjara, and Mate Rupić, with the support of colleagues and friends.

Admission to all events within Around, Through and Apropos Crnica is free for the general public without prior registration, except for the Apropos Crnica workshop segment on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, which requires prior registration via email: udrugaiii@gmail.com

Workshop: “Apropos Crnica”

Held in two parts:

Saturday afternoon:
Participants will document collected (personal) memorabilia from workshop attendees, neighbors, and citizens for the “Crnica Archive in Progress.” You are welcome to bring photographs, documents, ID cards, or objects such as badges, monographs, postcards, books, maps, T-shirts, or tools related to the TEF factory or the Crnica neighborhood—or simply share your story.

Based on the collected materials and insights from the walk, participants will reflect on their perception of Crnica and express it through various media: photography, drawing, prose, poetry, or another preferred form.

Sunday, from 11:00:
Participants will create a fanzine—a relaxed booklet format—compiled from collected materials and reflections related to the space. The workshop will conclude with an informal exhibition.
