Faced with the Mayor's offer to relocate Cultural centre Pekarna to the area of former penitentiary facility, the majority of Pekarna’s residents formed THE COMMITTEE FOR PEKARNA, responsible for communication with representatives of Municipality and MKC Maribor, with the goal of keeping Pekarna a place of production and relationships, that helped shape it form the very beginning. Initiatives, comments, letters of support, and any other suggestions are more than welcome at the e-mail address pekarna.odbor(at)gmail.com.

Summaries of committee’s activities, statements, and latest news can be seen in segments latest news, news archive, and on our PRESS blog. Our videos are available here (older) and here (latest).  

Pekarna - magdalenske mreže is one of the 40 proud residents of Cultural centre Pekarna. The complex, liberated in 1994, represents the idea of alternative, different, autonomous, creative, non-institutional, free… life, and is, as usual, under fire: it is rethinking it’s own role and image within the (re)production of ideas, meanings, practices and significations, as well as within society in general; it is searching for the most suitable manner of (self)organisation, and deciding on its strategies of survival and development. We are talking about dilemmas of (non)institutionalisation and placement in the urban, as well as wider social scope. We are aware the way from liberation to freedom is long, therefore Pekarna’s fight for existence, as well as the process of its (re)invention is taking place on daily basis!
