Event SKLJ14 consists of two parts that connect the three participating organizations, i.e., Gallery MKD (Macedonian Cultural Association), City Creative Network of CCN from Skopje in Macedonia and Initiative for public space ProstoRož. The first part (3. 10.) will consist of presentations and a debate on topics of public space, and in the second part (4. 10.), at a culinary event outdoors, the members of the Macedonian Cultural Society in collaboration with the Initiative ProstoRož will roast peppers for the preparation of traditional Macedonian dish called Ajvar. Therefore they will present a public ritual that takes place every year on the streets of Macedonia and is a part of public life.

The project SKLJ14 is a continuation of an event Skopje Creative Hub 2014 that took place in August 2014 in Skopje in the organization of CCN and where cultural association ProstoRož also participated. Focus of the event in Skopje and in Ljubljana is topic of degradation of public space, which can be observed in different environments. Exchange of experiences to which we aspire will happen through presentations and a debate, where we will present projects of detection and reinterpretation of degraded public space in Skopje, made at Skopje Creative Hub 2014. The lectures will be followed by a debate about the examples of good practice in Slovenia.

The next day, the logic will be turned upside down, and an example of good practice from Macedonia will be presented. On 4th of October members of the Macedonian Cultural Society in collaboration with the initiative ProstoRož will roast peppers outdoors for the preparation of traditional Macedonian dish called Ajvar and thus they will present a public ritual that takes place every year on the streets of Macedonia and is the part of life outdoors.

Prepared by Macedonian Cultural Society MKD Macedonia and CCN.
