Дорћол плац
Dorćol Platz, located at Dobračina 59b in Belgrade, is a vibrant multidisciplinary creative hub designed to foster artistic expression and cultural engagement. It serves as an inclusive space for individuals of all ages and backgrounds who are passionate about advocating for cultural and social transformation.
The mission of Dorćol Platz is to promote art, education, and community projects that connect local and global creative sectors. By integrating established and emerging artists, students, and scholars, we aim to cultivate a center for sustainable development that emphasizes culture, ecology, technology, sports, and science.
Dorćol Platz is situated in one of the most historically significant neighborhoods of Belgrade, known for its rich cultural legacy. The name "Dorćol," which translates to "intersection" in Turkish, symbolizes the area's historical position as a vital commercial hub connecting various nations. Despite its modernization, Dorćol retains a unique cosmopolitan essence, shaped by its diverse cultural influences and narratives.
The neighborhood is steeped in history, with each corner revealing stories of its past. Dorćol has inspired many of Serbia’s notable figures like Svetlana Velmar-Janković, Ivo Andrić, and Stevan Mokranjac. Even after Belgrade became the capital of Serbia, the area preserved its multicultural identity, serving as the site of the historical Jewish quarter and retaining remnants of its past in its streets and architecture.
Dorćol Platz is more than just a creative hub; it is a meeting place where every culture is recognized, while the importance of preserving our cultural heritage is prioritized. We welcome anyone with an artistic vision to explore, create, and collaborate with us as we continue to promote the rich legacy of this remarkable neighborhood.
