2026 is the first year Zvjezdane Staze operates with clear programme formats and continuity. We are testing the concept: curatorially, organisationally, financially.

The residency is sustained by participation fees, programme contributions, and direct support. We use a sliding scale model: those who can pay more do. A portion of all income goes to the local community. We call this samodoprinos: a contribution to the place that sustains us.

Where funds go

Most goes to programme work: conception, curation, communication, coordination. A small team making the residency possible.

Infrastructure: electricity, water, heating, repairs, supplies.

The solidarity fund enables participation for those who cannot pay full fees.

Samodoprinos goes to the village. How it's spent, the village assembly decides.
