Lidice Memorial is a public museum dedicated to the memory of the village of Lidice, destroyed by the Nazis on 10 June 1942. Through exhibitions, education and public programmes, it helps audiences confront the consequences of violence and to recognise the civic value of remembrance. The Memorial also cares for the Lidice Art Collection (LAC), a unique solidarity collection founded in the 1960s in response to Lidice’s fate. Built entirely from donations by artists and supporters, the LAC connects local history with global artistic voices and continues to grow through research, residencies and commissions. Today, Lidice Memorial works across heritage, contemporary art and community engagement: from digitising and opening the collection to new publics, to supporting artists in residence who explore themes of memory, resistance and repair. As coordinator of the European Solidarity Residency, the institution fosters inclusive, sustainable cultural practice while linking Central European histories to present-day imaginaries.

Art radionica Lazareti (ARL) is an independent arts organisation in Dubrovnik that runs a vibrant cultural centre within the historic Lazareti complex—originally a quarantine station. Founded informally in 1989 and registered as an NGO in 1995, ARL develops year-round programmes and collaborates locally and internationally. With a context-based approach, ARL uses art as a tool for participation, dialogue, activism and positive social change, upholding values of creativity, freedom, solidarity, participation, diversity, responsibility, inclusiveness and openness. Programmes include the OTOK Gallery (arts) , Quarantine Scene (performing arts), Other Places (public-space interventions) and Participation/Antidote (workshops, discussions, assemblies). ARL is also active in research and advocacy on cultural policy, civil society, participatory governance and sustainable use of heritage spaces, and helps animate the Platform for Lazareti—an association fostering a horizontally integrated, community-oriented cultural centre.
