Proiektuen Plaza is an open-ended call for proposals for Medialab Tabakalera projects. It welcomes proposals from the fields of digital culture, open design and shared knowledge. Proiektuen Plaza draws on the results of Hirikilabs Plaza, a biannual call for proposals which, over twelve editions, provided a space for gathering and for developing projects in the lab via interaction with people, collectives and practice communities in the area. This new structure enables projects to be submitted throughout the year.
Target audience
Plaza is for curious people across a wide age bracket. The space is for individuals, collectives, associations, families and people who, whether as groups or individuals, are interested in developing projects which are open to others (curious types, handy people, hackers, makers, artists, creators, engineers, scientists, designers, etc.).
No prior knowledge in the project area is required for participating in Proiektuen Plaza, just an openness to learning while doing, to discovering things through enjoyment and to working with others.
How Proiektuen Plaza projects work
The main requirement in a Proiektuen Plaza project is the curiosity of the people behind it, together with a desire to learn together and to share knowledge. The role of Medialab is to provide the necessary space, materials, relationships and guidance.
Aspiring Medialab Tabakalera projects must be submitted and selected via the call for proposals. The project will subsequently be publicly promoted to attract other collaborators.
The people behind the selected projects commit to taking part in Plaza work sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 16:00 to 20:00. Medialab Tabakalera will facilitate lab resources and spaces during Medialab opening hours in coordination with its staff team.
