By operating in the field of informal education, self-education, independent culture and production, the Association has marked the cultural and social scene of the city of Rijeka, creating a specific way methodology of working (through education and authorship) that is recognized even beyond the Rijeka framework. Since 2016, it has been the organizer of the Festival of Contemporary Dance and New Circus - Periskop. In its activities, it cultivates the research and experimental principle of work that has emerged from productions such as "Zone", "Dissonanza sjećanje", the research "How do female artists live in Rijeka and its surroundings?" and the research of new Rijeka narratives as part of the project "Stories Behind Cities".
