WELCOME TO PRAGALAB

PRAGA LAB is an experimental project focused on identification of effective tools for linking Praga’s heritage with development of local economy. From June 2019 through next 3 years PRAGA LAB team in cooperation with local stakeholders will be searching and testing solutions allowing to minimize the existing barriers for collaboration and development of heritage connected initiatives in the area.

Main task will be to test models of connecting stakeholders with un-used spaces in Praga district, including buildings and public spaces. Focal point is intangible and tangible heritage of Praga connected to work and its traditions. Historically Praga is a district of blue-collar working class and with numerous production sites, small as well as large factories and rich heritage from the industrialization period. Nowadays Praga is strongly influenced by the artistic community, yet with strong roots in the past thanks to its traditions cultivated by communities living here and historical built environment. This makes Praga authentic in the social and spatial context. The aim of PRAGA LAB is to counteract vanishing of this unique identity and values. We are searching for solutions and partners to do it.
