Since the Krater ecosystem is continually at the verge of extinction, the collective cultivates creative resilience in face of urgency by inventing feral tactics, events and formats, treating administrative and other restrictions as an object of artistic interventions. This action asks for unexpected alliances and inventive economies to open up territories of regenerative, relational and critical creative practice.

In 2023 the practice received special mention from the 35th Biennial of Graphic Art Ljubljana, and the highest national prize in architecture for public space – Plečnik’s Medal.
