Croatia: What kind of (cultural) institutions do we need?

Zagreb hosted on November 11-13 and 18-19, in the framework of the Zagreb - Cultural Capital of Europe 3000 (ZKC3000) platform, a series of public discussions and performances on the topic "what kind of institutions do we need?" initiated by the Center for Drama Art (CDU).
The discussions aimed to tackle critical aspects related to new artistic practices in existing institutional framework - How do we problematize and discuss the role of cultural institutions today? Do cultural institutions reflect the changes in the field of artistic production and the changes in the overall context? Is there any further role of the institution but to present production and reproduce presentability? Do we need advanced institutions for advanced practices?
Also, as part of the policy initiatives of the platform in the city of Zagreb, the open discussions also focused on initiating a debate about models of open infrastructure and management for hybrid public institutions for the cultural programs of civil society. They focused on two specific examples: a proposal for the establishment of a Center for Independent culture and Youth and proposals for the transformation of existing public institutions on the example of Zagreb's Student Center.
