The Toolkit is a metaphor and invitation for joint action, as well as specific educational tool for the users which encourages knowledge in finding alternative solutions in politically dysfunctional everyday. From Gallery Nova, where the Toolkit was initiated, it travels around smaller towns in Croatia and the region with the purpose of educating, informing, opening a dialogue, networking and archiving of previous material.

The Toolkit is engaged with issues of direct democracy, contextual theology, feminism, syndicalism, engaged art, right to the city and sustainable livin.

Using art's resources to establish wider infrastructural support for different forms of social activity, this project does not reject art as its starting point, but, beginning as well as one can, uses the exhibition as a possible place of critical pedagogy, in which art is not the exclusive means of representation but a cohesive force, able to mobilize ideas, encourage discussion and initiate action.
