Center Rog is a modern production space, designed for everyone who enjoys creating with their hands, regardless of their knowledge and age. The nine production labs, which are the heart of the house, provide a space for learning and using both traditional and modern digital technologies. Here, you can engage in concrete and tangible challenges - from repairing various objects to improving and creating new, innovative, and socially beneficial products. In Center Rog, there are also nineteen project studios and five residential apartments, in addition to a new branch of the Ljubljana City Library, Rog Library, a large exhibition and event hall, a café, bistro, and restaurant, as well as several shops with local products. In front of Center Rog is a large public park, and in comfortably equipped drop-in corners on all floors, you can rest, work, or socialize at any time.

History
The history of industrial activity in the area where Center Rog stands today dates back to 1871 when Ivan Janesch purchased pasture land in the Šempeter suburb. In 1879, he built a factory building for tanning leather on the land. The building was later expanded by his son, Ivan Janesch Jr., in 1882, adding another floor and expanding production to include leather goods. By the end of the 19th century, the factory employed up to 100 workers.

Shared Spaces – Shared Futures (Skupni prostori - skupne prihodnosti)
In December 2021, within the framework of the project Shared Spaces - Shared Futures in collaboration with the European Cultural Foundation, a new round of participatory development of Center Rog began. Five working groups focused on important substantive and organizational aspects of our new shared creative center. We verified their findings with interested public groups in April, improved drafts with the help of external experts in May, and presented them together with the wider public at an international meeting in Ljubljana in June.

Shemakes - Opportunity Ecosystems Bridging the Gender Gap
The Shemakes network connects organizations and individuals actively contributing to the common goals of the project, such as improving the skills, self-confidence, and professional position of women in the textile and clothing industry. Together, we address challenges faced by women in the industry: overrepresentation in the lowest-paid positions, systemic gender structures affecting their status, and low value attributed to their skills in traditional business structures. We strive to create new opportunities and business structures that will enable women to move to higher, better-paid positions by providing them access to hard skills, technology, and innovations, networking, and business development.
