INDUSTRA

We are a cultural centre and a creative network, a gallery and a theatre, a cinema and a fablab, a residency hub and a coffee roastery. We are giving new life to the old halls of Brno’s Zbrojovka complex, connecting the Czech Republic with the world. We transform and push boundaries, we challenge and innovate. We are INDUSTRA.

INDUSTRA was founded in 2012 in a former ice cream production facility as a tangible act of resistance against Brno’s mediocrity and small-town mentality. It provided the local cultural and civic community with a base and a space to realise truly large and ambitious ideas. Thanks to hundreds of volunteers and small donors, INDUSTRA opened to the public in spring 2013, initially with only a gallery and café, later expanding to include a theatre (2015), a fablab, and residency studios (2017). In 2021, INDUSTRA (unexpectedly and rapidly) relocated to Nová Zbrojovka, where it continues to grow. Today, it is one of the largest cultural centres of its kind in the Central European region.
