Zenica City Museum is organizing residencies where, over a period of six weeks, participating designers and other profiles will be guided through the process of researching the value of heritage, testing the possibilities of different materials, and producing an object – from traditional heritage bases through craftsmanship to new objects/exhibits.

Kropa, a small Slovenian town with a remarkable history of ironworking, will become a setting for a residency for two designers to explore the historical, cultural and socio-economic dimensions of blacksmithing and nail production.
The residency by Zenica City Museum brings together product design student Adin Alispahić and blacksmith Miran Matošević to collaborate on creating innovative metal and woodwork pieces inspired by traditional Bosnian crafts, which will be used for a new permanent exhibition of the Zenica City Museum.
The crash course designed by Trajna / Krater Collective consists of two workshops co-led by Debra Solomon, Urška Škerl, and Alen Mangafić, that explore urban biodiversity stewardship through innovative practices. They are designed to enhance understanding of urban ecosystem management and spatial interventions.
A Walking Residency* embarks on a two-week hiking tour across Ljubljana’s urban(ized) greens. This research collaboration between Trajna’s eco-social designers and multispecies urbanist Debra Solomon aims to delineate a green corridor, a connective pathway facilitating wildlife migration throughout the city.
