MEDS Workshop 2025 Rijeka: The City of Textures
The 14th edition of the MEDS Workshop will take place in Rijeka, Croatia. This year, the theme of the MEDS Workshop invites participants to dive into the stories and experiences of Rijeka, exploring its rich history, culture and dynamic present through its unique textures.
Why Rijeka?
Rijeka, with its rich history and vibrant present, is a city shaped by industrial strength, reflective waters, creativity, and the echoes of human stories. Four central narratives define the city's collective memory, each contributing to its layered identity. Their interplay, overlap, conflict, fusion, prevalence and vibration create unexpected scenarios. The textures of Rijeka are not merely something that can be seen or touched; they are experienced and felt, making Rijeka a
city that leaves a lasting impression. MEDS has the opportunity to become part of these layers, exploring these textures and contributing to Rijeka's ongoing story.
