The Ilica: Q'Art project, started in 2000, emerged and grew from desire to transform the abandoned public spaces in Ilica, one of Zagreb's longest streets, stretching almost six kilometers from the city's central square. Through varying cultural and artistic interventions, socially active art forms are created, and so the street and its view are changed and complemented, not only visually, but also in terms of content. And, as it usually happens, the view of the city changes with the streets, so that Q'Art is expanding and encompassing new, socially active forms of art in the community. In this way, through its formal and informal activities and various events, Q'Art permanently alters not only public spaces, but also the mutual and strongly two-way relationship between the city and its residents, thus defining a common, accountable future.
The Okolo project, which combines street art with the local and international creative scene in a unique way, changes the previously "invisible" streets, courtyards and parks of Zagreb through artist meetings, turning them into open air galleries. And suddenly, spaces that you didn't even notice before become a painter's canvas and a precious, unexpected encounter with street art... which changes the city, but it also changes us...
