Presentation of the CO.LABS Cultural Center Reconstruction Project
Galerie VI invites you on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 6:00 PM to a lecture, where representatives of the CO.LABS cultural center team (Brno) will present the ongoing reconstruction of the center in the former premises of the Brno Sokols. During the lecture, they will touch on topics of extensive reconstructions in the historic part of the city and adapting spaces for cultural, theatrical, and musical activities.
The CO.LABS cultural center is an organization as well as an open space aimed at providing comprehensive services for creators' needs. A place where creation, authors, and audiences can meet under one roof at every stage of contemporary art and culture in Brno. CO.LABS hosts artistic residencies for individuals and artistic groups and organizes various public cultural events. The CO.LABS cultural center is undergoing extensive reconstruction in 2024 and 2025.
Guests:
Juraj Augustín, member of the collective leadership of the CO.LABS cultural center, coordinator of the CO.LABS cultural center development project, theater director focusing on movement theater.
Klaudia Klembarová, member of the collective leadership of the CO.LABS cultural center, production, inclusion, and support programs coordinator at CO.LABS.
Simona Augustín, member of the collective leadership of the CO.LABS cultural center, financial manager of the CO.LABS cultural center development project, focusing on grant fundraising. Visual artist.
The CO.LABS team lecture is part of the House Europe lecture series, through which we aim to present the direction and efforts of the European civic initiative HouseEurope!
HouseEurope! is an initiative that brings together citizens, institutions, and resident groups in Europe and seeks ways to reasonably and positively promote and prioritize reconstructions over demolitions in today's construction. The initiative aims to prepare effective EU regulations that would facilitate the renovation and transformation of existing buildings while supporting their affordability both financially and socially. Many architectural firms, public and private institutions (including the Czech Chamber of Architects), and thousands of citizens have already joined the initiative. In the lecture series, we would like to introduce the local audience to possible strategies, tools, and topics related to renovations and reconstructions on a local scale based on a selection of six Czech and Slovak speakers.
The project was created with financial support from the State Cultural Fund of the Czech Republic and the Czech Architecture Foundation.
