===History===
''Metelkova mesto'' occupies the former ''Fourth of July Military Barracks'' at Metelkova 3 street in the centre of Ljubljana, which was originally commissioned by the Austro-Hungarian army in 1882 and completed in 1911. While used by the Kingdom of Yugoslavia army from the end of WW1 until 1941, afterwards occupied by both the Italian fascist and German nazi forces, the area was in the hands of People's Army of Yugoslavia (JNA) from 1945 until June 1991. Its IXth Army District Headquarters nearby on Metelkova Street is nowadays a museum part, legal property of the Ministry of Culture.
 
  
In 1990 the ''Network for Metelkova'' was formed, consisting of 200 partner organisations facilitated by the Movement for the Culture of Peace and Non Violence and the [[ŠKUC Association]], to propose a new, peaceful and creative use for the barracks. In 1991 the ''Network for Metelkova'' formally petitioned the newly-independent Slovene government to take possession of the abandoned site. The municipality of Ljubljana gave some promises that the area would be given to the alternative culture, but realistically nothing happened.

From the end of WWI until 1941, it was used by the army of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (previously the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes); during WWII, it was occupied firstly by the Italian fascist then German Nazi forces; then from 1945 until late June 1991, the area was in the hands of the People's Army of Yugoslavia (JLA).

In 1990, the Network for Metelkova was formed, consisting of more than 200 partner organisations facilitated by the Movement for the Culture of Peace and Non Violence and the [[ŠKUC Association]], to propose a new, peaceful and creative use for the barracks. In 1991, the Network for Metelkova formally petitioned the newly-independent Slovene government to take possession of the abandoned site. The municipality of Ljubljana gave some promises that the area would be given to the alternative culture, but in reality, nothing happened.  
  
After months of waiting, on 10 September [[Established::1993]] a group of alternative producers and activists occupied the former military barracks in order to prevent its illegal destruction and redevelopment, and since 1995 the space has been a self-organised autonomous zone. Although it has not yet succeeded in achieving a proper legal status, the area was registered as national cultural heritage in 2005.

After months of waiting, direct action took place.

Although it has not yet succeeded in achieving proper legal status, the area was partly registered as national cultural heritage in 2005.  
  
During its existence, projects at ''Metelkova mesto'' have been supported by the state and municipal funders as well as by many local and international sponsors, foreign Embassies, and cultural institutes.

''Metelkova mesto'' is the only location in the city, and one of the few in the country, where youth, underground and alternative cultural expression is systematically produced and presented to a large and active audience. It is also a forum of impressive intellectual irradiation. During each academic year, it hosts the programme of the ''[[Workers' Punk University]]'' where the most urgent dilemmas of the contemporary world are discussed by competent international speakers. The annual celebration of the ''ACC Metelkova's'' perseverance takes place each September in a form of a festival.

Avtonomni kulturni center Metelkova mesto (AKC Metelkova mesto)

1280px

The Autonomous Cultural Centre Metelkova mesto (AKC Metelkova mesto, AKC Metelkova or just Metelkova – also Meta, Metka, or Metla in the local slang) is an umbrella term for one of the liveliest cultural, artistic, social and intellectual urban areas in Ljubljana that stands among the largest agglomerations throughout Europe of alternative and underground cultures.



History

AKC Metelkova mesto occupies the former "Fourth of July Military Barracks" at Metelkova ulica 3 in the centre of Ljubljana, which was originally commissioned by the Austro-Hungarian army in 1882 and completed in 1911. From the end of WWI until 1941, it was used by the army of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (previously the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes); during WWII, it was occupied firstly by the Italian fascist then German Nazi forces; then from 1945 until late June 1991, the area was in the hands of the People's Army of Yugoslavia (JLA). Its neighbouring IXth Army District Headquarters on Metelkova ulica is nowadays known as the "museum district", the legal property of the Ministry of Culture, located nearby.

In 1990, the Network for Metelkova was formed, consisting of more than 200 partner organisations facilitated by the Movement for the Culture of Peace and Non Violence and the ŠKUC Association, to propose a new, peaceful and creative use for the barracks. In 1991, the Network for Metelkova formally petitioned the newly-independent Slovene government to take possession of the abandoned site. The municipality of Ljubljana gave some promises that the area would be given to the alternative culture, but in reality, nothing happened.

After months of waiting, direct action took place. During the night from 10 to 11 September 1993, a group of about 200 alternative producers and activists occupied the former military barracks in order to prevent its illegal destruction and redevelopment, and since 1995, the space has been a self-organised autonomous zone. Although it has not yet succeeded in achieving proper legal status, the area was partly registered as national cultural heritage in 2005.

Projects at Metelkova mesto are often supported by the state and municipal funders as well as by many local and international sponsors, foreign embassies and cultural institutes. In spite of this, Metelkova mesto is still regularly under attack: in 2006, one of the buildings which was considered to have been erected illegally was torn down and various inspections continue to interrupt cultural events.

Venues, organisations

Many cultural organisations are based at Metelkova, with some of them there since the start and others of a more transient nature. They include: KUD Mreža Arts and Culture Association, currently running the Alkatraz Gallery, the Asylum Studio, the Night Window Display Gallery Pešak and its International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns; KAPA Association for Cultural and Artistic Production with its Gala hala venue for all genres of rock, dub, hip-hop, and so on; KUD Anarhiv with its Škratova čitalnica; Celica Hostel, with its cafe-bar, concert and gallery space (run by KUD Sestava), constructed within the old military prison; and Infoshop, a social space for research and development in the theory and practice of anarchistic and related movements.

Venues also include Klub Menza pri koritu, with a programme spanning from poetry readings to rock gigs, Klub Channel Zero for electronic music, dub, and variety of rock and hard core events, Klub Gromka for alternative performing arts events, films, various concerts, literature, and lectures, the gay club Klub Tiffany and the lesbian club Klub Monokel, as well as Klub SOT 24,5, run by the YHD – Association for Theory and Culture of Handicap. There are also Mizzart Gallery with its psy trance fiestas, and – as the only spontaneously-erected building – Jalla Jalla artistic inn. Several artists' studios – some of which are also available for visiting artists – are located in one or the other of barracks. The outdoor events are usually held at the "Square with no Historic Memory". Open only throughout the summer, the garden of Gala hala offers a special summer programme in an extremely nice courtyard that can host up to 800 people.

The building at Metelkova 6 accommodates the offices of many Ljubljana NGO cultural organisations, including SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts, the Peace Institute, Maska Institute, Forum Ljubljana, City of Women, Ekran magazine and Strip Core, as well as numerous other cultural, research and civil society organisations.

Metelkova is nowadays organised non-hierarchically, with its Forum (of all participants) making decisions using consensus and direct democratic principles.

It is also a forum of impressive intellectual irradiation. Up until recently, the Klub Gromka annually hosted the programme of the Workers' Punk University (now the Institute for Labour Studies) where the most urgent and actual dilemmas of the contemporary world were discussed by competent international speakers. The annual celebration of the AKC Metelkova's perseverance takes place each September in the form of a festival.

Many Slovene international festivals held in Ljubljana hold part of their activities at Metelkova, including the City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts, Druga Godba Festival, MENT Ljubljana, Ljubljana Jazz Festival and the Ana Desetnica.

Media-wise, Radio Študent (RŠ) is with no doubt Metelkova's strongest comrade-in-arms, and it also organises its Radio Študent Benefit Festival at one of Metelkova's venues.

Metelkova has been presented as an outstanding phenomenon by the international media, including ARD, Arte, BBC, Die Zeit, Falter, Feral Tribune, Los Angeles Times, ORF, Russian State TV, Seattle Times, NY Times, The Guardian and ZDF.
