Project description:

„The Farm Krenovka in the Prague city part Žižkov – new centre for contemporary art and Community“ project will change the cultural monument in an innovative way. In this object, which is a part of the Prague Connection Railways, State Railways, and Turnov-Kralupy-Prague Railways Structural Complex, a centre providing new premises for contemporary art (especially for dance) and community activities will be established.

The project will achieve the objectives through several synergistic activities: building completion and furnishings of the reception and the co-working room ArtHub; Studio Krenovka and Dance Prague facilities including a Meeting Room: installation of a dance floor, furnishings and technology. This activity supports especially the activities and public programme of the project partner (Tanec Praha z.ú.); operation of the Krenovka cultural centre: a space for artists and the community: the Centre will be open to the public and an inclusive and diverse programme will be offered; Krenovka activates the Gordian Knot/public events reviving the brownfield: 9 site-specific events for the centre and its surroundings.

An important aspect of the project is cooperation with the Norwegian partner, Dansens Hus Oslo, which will share its know-how with the operation of one of the best dance houses in Europe and its programme experience.
