Good Practices in Participatory Management in Culture 3

In the third video of the series, Molekula – Collaborative and Participatory Management in Rijeka, we provide an overview of the actors within the Rijeka independent cultural scene gathered under the Molekula Association. Molekula emerged as a response from civil organizations in culture to the lack of space.

Since 2007, the civil-public relationship between Molekula and the City of Rijeka has been constantly evolving, as have the components of Molekula itself. Currently, the Molekula Association manages spaces such as Filodrammatica, Youth Center Palach, Salon ReUse Center, ReUse Workshop, and Delta 5, the former Ivex building. We spoke with cultural workers and representatives of space users about the current state of the scene and the future of civil-public partnerships in Rijeka.
