ABOUT

Protokolektiv works as an interdisciplinary network of experienced professionals on multiple scales and through different media. We question current socioecological status-quos by making the underlying (historical) conditions visible.

To this aim, we pair together architecture, curation, and research with management, consultancy, and dissemination. Based in Ljubljana and with outposts in Munich, Aarhus, and Skopje, we act as a pan-European network of professionals from practice, academia, and culture.

We are interested in crosscutting topics in a broader sense. We focus on archives and knowledge infrastructures, digital and analog spaces, architectural heritage, craftsmanship and design, migrations, and diasporic ties.

︎Works on the intersection of creativity and project management
︎Produces exhibitions, publications, and design concepts
︎Curates data
