There was significant amount of cultural resistance in whole country during the time of pre-war in Croatia, including southern parts in Croatia, known for valuation of traditionalism and conservativism. Separation with conventional form is beginning of new era – development of Dubrovnik's contemporary scene is mainly caused by initiation called Art workshop Lazareti. We are going to represent chronological dynamics of workshop through the years, from the founder's idea and beginning to later elaboration in the end of the century, from almost destroyed Dubrovnik where artists were never afraid to show rebellion and consistent battle through their performances, until peace and vanished enthusiasm in the late 1990s. A group of young artists, well known authors and amateurs, were gathered under one name, and they aspired to different artistic expression, cooperation and openness. They organized projects, concerts, performances and exbihitions. 28 years later founders and participants of Art workshop Lazareti testify about their accomplishments and goals in that time, and about workshop's activities today.
