(Welcome to a State That Doesn’t Exist)<\/p>\n

Metelkova is more than just a place. It is the last breath of anarchic Ljubljana, a cry in the silence of a tamed city.
\nIn the skeleton of a former Austro-Hungarian barracks, later the headquarters of the Yugoslavian army, a rebellious city still lives.
\nIn 1993, two years after Slovenia’s independence, a group of artists, activists, revolutionaries, and anarchists decided to give it a new life. They were accused of being “illegal,” but declared themselves “free.”
\nThirty years later, Metelkova Mesto endures. Contemporary art, theater, and murals blend with techno, punk, and performance, amid the smell of beer and spray paint.
\nIt is a symbol of cultural resistance, a challenge to the perfect Ljubljana: a clean, orderly, silent city. So perfect it makes you want to scream.<\/p>\n

In Metelkova, hope tinges with anger. Dreams burn in the night\u2014nourished by dissatisfaction\u2014waiting for a dawn that will finally show everyone equal.<\/p>\n

“They call us barbarians. But we are the restorers of a museum that doesn’t yet exist: the museum of freedom.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
