Lost in Zagreb is a collective project in the framework of Magic Carpets, co-hosted by artist Tin Dožić. The project was shaped through diverse processes, such as walks, discussions, and mapping workshops, together with a group of local artists and people with various skills, including a poet, a taxi driver, an economy student and a chef. To work collectively was a conscious political and artistic decision, and the different voices and perspectives are reflected in the texts and images of the guide.
Lost in Zagreb is a city guide developed in 2018, which aims to lead to the discovering of new places, communities and experiences in Zagreb. The selected locations are presented through 6 chapters: community places, venues to experience art, market places, fashion, places for children, and green areas such as the mountain Medvednica. The guide is both in English, Arabic, and Croatian, created with the aim of reaching new citizens and guests of the city, and it is free.
This project is part of a series of alternative guides for different cities in Europe (Maps for Copenhagen was initiated by Maj Horn together with Signe Rom, in 2012), aiming to investigate social layers and economies of cities, as well as mapping the reality of migration in Europe. For the release event, Maj Horn will present the process of the guidebooks followed by a discussion.
