Its doors first opening in 2014, Pritličje is a curious mixture of a cafeteria, a night bar, a gallery, a comic book shop and a concert venue. All in all, an urban cultural centre that is also politically aware and active in setting up lectures and round tables on wide range of issues, from global politics and economic policies to questions concerning the various arts scenes.


Set in the city centre just by the city hall, Pritličje is possibly the only private establishment of its kind in Ljubljana. It frequently cooperates with Radio Študent (which, among other things, sets up monthly DJ evenings), the Emanat Institute, the ŠKUC Association and with various sporadic partners like the Spider Festival, Stoptrik International Film Festival, City of Women International Festival and the Druga Godba Festival.

Background

With its activism and a LGBT endorsing policy (and partly also in terms of its managers), Pritličje is the heir of the Cafe Open, the first explicitly gay and lesbians friendly bar in Ljubljana which had a similar, but – due to its size and location – much less ambitious programme. The place had to close down in 2013, as its location in a residential area proved to be too much of an obstacle.

Programme

Music-wise, Pritličje is focusing on electronic music and is presenting its various forms on weekly DJ evenings and regular live acts. Occasionally, other genres come into play as well and the place had seen its share of rock and jazz concerts as well. The artists are mainly Slovenian (though artists like Juno Reactor and Dennis Bovell do stop by), but chosen with a daft touch.

The lectures and round tables feature prominent Slovenian intellectuals, both those from the centre of the academia as well those coming from its outskirts (like for example the folks around the journal ČKZ Journal for Critique of Science, for Imagination and New Anthropology). Although the lecturers and debaters are predominantly humanities specialists, the guests at Pritličje are sometimes also curios people from public life or the artsl

The harm reduction organisation DrogArt organises events and lectures at Pritličje as well, and so do the people gathered around the comic book retailer Stripolis. Among numerous other social and cultural productions, literary theory and practices have also found their domicile here.
