CLUBTURE NETWORK - 20 years of exchange and cooperation

This publication was created on the twentieth anniversary of the Clubture network as an overview of the comprehensive and extensive activities of the network within the Croatian cultural system (and towards the Croatian cultural system). The exciting energy of work over the last twenty years has been particularly recorded from the perspective of collaborators intensively involved in various program activities of the network. What is obvious from all the texts is the vast experience, effort, and time devoted to "intensive coexistence" with the Clubture network in recent years. The publication records the moments in the development, but also the limitations faced by actors working in the field of independent culture. At the same time, interviews with collaborators gathered around the Clubture network highlight the need for a more systematic review of the network's achievements and cultural policy topics that have been touched on in the last twenty years. Such an overview would potentially allow the network to position itself more clearly in the cultural field and improve communication about its role. We hope that this publication presents a step towards a more comprehensive history of the network, although we have been aware that we may not be able to meet all expectations in being comprehensive. Therefore, the most important goal of this publication would be to provide valuable insight into the value and vision of joint action in the (independent) cultural system as a common space of freedom, but also the many limitations that we persistently strive to overcome.
