The Lopud Seminars are conceived to create an impetus for innovation, dialogue and exchange by bringing together cultural practitioners of different fields in small enclosed workshop-like Debate Sessions to interconnect different agendas and practices, that we have identified and localized in individual and institutional efforts and talents in the respective fields of contemporary art, architecture, preservation, performance, theory. In the light of an expanding international horizon, we plan to endorse and pave the way for alternative co-operations based on ongoing negotiations of the production of cultural meaning and spatial practices within sites of transformation.> >
