The practices of cultural planning, relying on the use of cultural resources in the development of a territory and its communities, are new for Russian cities and have not yet become widespread. At the same time, there are more and more examples of this approach, initiated by various cultural institutions, civic associations and their coalitions. To exchange experience, the Kaliningrad Urban Lab will bring together artists, researchers, culture managers, leaders of urban communities and experts on urbanism and participation.
The laboratory consists of two blocks. The first one is devoted to rethinking the Kaliningrad experience of cultural planning, discussing the prospects of this approach and networking with partners from the North-West region of Russia. The second block will allow all participants to get acquainted with the practices of cultural urban planning in the North-West of Russia, with already completed projects, as well as to discuss the role of museums and galleries in such urban development.

The laboratory is an integral part of the international project #R089 UrbCulturalPlanning "Cultural design as a method of urban social innovation", which has been implemented by the NCCA Kaliningrad since 2019. The main goal of the UrbCultural Planning project is to develop cooperation and improve communication between cities of the Baltic Sea region.
In Kaliningrad, the project focuses on the Kronprinz barracks, a 19th century historical and cultural monument, which served as an important element of the city's historic fortification ring. For many years, the historical site has been used by the Baltic branch of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (NCCA, Kaliningrad) to hold public art projects, concerts, and exhibitions.
With the help of cultural planning, as well as urban research methods that include surveying, mental mapping of the territory, and interviewing the local residents, we’re looking to define the role of contemporary art in the current landscape of Kaliningrad. This knowledge will allow us to understand how various cultural initiatives and projects created with reference to a specific place can unite and bring together the residents of a particular area. The Kronprinz Path project, which will last until September 2021, will include a promenade performance, an urban laboratory, public art projects, an exhibition, and an art guide.
Event dates: July 15, 16, 2021
Opening: July 15, 11:00
Venue: art space "Gates", Kaliningrad, Lithuanian Val, 61
Organizer: Baltic Branch of the A.S. Pushkin
