Location: Culture HUB Croatia – Prostor (Plančićeva 2)

Date: February 20, 2026

On Friday, February 20, at 7:30 PM, the exhibition of participants from the third edition of Hidden City, an interdisciplinary, multi-month program, opens at CHC Prostor, Plančićeva 2.

The program combines urbanism, architecture, and audiovisual media through lectures, research, workshops, production, and public presentation. The current theme, "Nature and Society," is explored through lectures and field tours by Srećko Horvat, Daša Gazde, Jere Kuzmanić, and Tea Trut, along with a production workshop led by Sunčica Fradelić and Nina Bačun and mentorship from Srećko Horvat and Igor Bezinović.

The program investigates hidden readings of space, urban fabric, and (post-)industrial landscapes, opening them to alternative possibilities. Five selected participants — Milica Denković, Ivan Kaštelan, Ema Pernek, Ana Rušić, and Luka Ružić — developed projects through research and workshop phases, supported by production guidance and professional collaboration. Instead of a single narrative, their works present a heterogeneous set of readings and propose ways to slow down, attentively perceive, and redraw shared space.

• Milica Denković’s work "Pomalo" and her time studies transform measurement into an experience of attention: flows of water, oil, and soap, viscosities, and sand dust move us away from mechanical time toward rhythms that are felt rather than counted.
   
• Ivan Kaštelan, in "Vila Mikica / Summers That No Longer Exist…", maps the disappearance of a house as an erosion of public good, raising questions of social responsibility and memory.
   
• Ema Pernek’s "Attempt at a Cruise Diary" fragments a season of work on a cruise ship into sound and text, where cynicism and humor become survival tactics, and the body acts as a metronome of exhaustion.
   
• Ana Rušić’s "Bruškinijada 2026" connects ecology and accessibility: the bruškin—a humble tool—becomes a symbol of collective care and the right to the sea.
   
• Luka Ružić’s "Radioflux" envisions a post-tourist, post-capitalist Dalmatia: radio fiction and 3D scans merge Dalmatian musical heritage with solarpunk imagination, redirecting perspective from dystopia to radical optimism.

These works do not offer final solutions; they present practices, gestures, and tools for collective imagining. At the same time, they are an invitation to participate — in slower rhythms, in care that includes others, and in alternative futures that rely primarily on solidarity as the foundation for building communities.
