Cultural Society / Kulturno drustvo Integrali is an NGO that was first established through a non-formal collaboration of two Slovenian theatre artists – playwright and dramaturge Simona Semenic and theatre director and dance/theatre theoretician Rok Vevar, who have made a number of contemporary theatre project together, involving many other young Slovenian theatre artists. In further development, Simona Semenic started to collaborate with American organization WaxFactory, especially with theatre director Ivan Talijancic. Integrali were formally established on the basis of the projects conceived and realized by Simona, Rok and Ivan.
By now Integrali has twenty two members, but no employees. Organs of organization are Assembly, Executive Board and Supervisory Board. Executive Board is taking care of realizing aims of the organization. It consists of 3 members (2-year mandate), elected and released by the Assembly. Members of the Executive Board elect the President and the Vice president of the Executive Board.

ProstoRož explores, examines and opens new possibilities of public space use in accordance with the needs of its inhabitants and tries to reveal how sometimes minimal means and small interventions are enough to present the city’s inhabitants and visitors with pleasant spaces for hanging out, playing or working in the open air. Our interventions are not mere artistic installations in public areas but also in-depth searching for new city planning options of space use. We believe that in applying the appropriate approach to space planning as well as appropriate contents the amount of various forms of vandalism in public areas can be reduced.
