The central project of collaboration between Kastafsko kulturno leto and the Kombinat creative collective is initiated in 2014 with the goal of implementing a participatory artistic creation during the exhibitional week of KKL 2014. The goal of the project is to include local population and visitors of the city of Kastav in the realization of this project, and also to include them in the consummation of contents following the exhibitional programme. The project is focused around the locations of the historic town core in the city of Kastav. With the creative interventions on the locations of historical meaning the city spaces are being reactivated and, with the open invitation to play, new possibilities are being made for future inscriptions in the city tissue. With this kind of exhibitional programme, which is stepping outside in the streets of the city to play, everyone is being invited to this creative intercourse which is here to question and open now, unforeseen possibilities. Different interventions in the old historic core of the city will be based on the historical and culturological exploration of the local stories and legends. The result of these activities is building a web of alternative stories about the local history. Chosen points, the specific locations in the city, will be visually marked and will become playing positions in the urban game of history. Innovative visual solutions will, in an educational and amendable way, help reinterpret the historical content. In a very important part, the programme is answering the needs of a new generation (it’s visual and multimedia segment), which doesn’t make it less appropriate for the rest of the city public. For the entire duration of the project, and with its ending, the city of Kastav will be mapped, and become a center of artistic intervention practices of the regional creative industry and different types of media that they will be using (photography, illustration, design, video, audio segment).
