PROGRAM / JULY 2 – AUGUST 20, 2026

The Working Group for the Program is an informal collective that emerged through several months of collaborative work on the visual arts, music, and discussion programs of the Liberated Student Cultural Center (SKC) in 2025. The collective functions as an open community in which anyone interested can participate. Its work is based on responsibility, collective decision-making, a horizontal structure, and the principle of self-organization.

Through the Program at U10 Art Space, we are creating opportunities for exhibition-making, research, and collaborative artistic work for those who often lack access to such spaces. Continuing the model developed within the Liberated SKC, we seek to highlight the need for free and accessible spaces for young and non-established creators working across different media, whose practice and engagement contribute to the field of independent cultural production, challenge dominant institutional frameworks, and question the very functioning of what we call the cultural sphere.

From July 2 to August 20, the Program will develop through thematic segments and open meetings held every week. These meetings will allow anyone interested to propose activities, participate in the organization of the Program, and become part of the Working Group for the Program.
