And ... on 27 September, the Anatomy of the Islands Workshop at the Island of Vis was concluded with public presentation. The presentation was introduced by a spiritus movens of the Anatomy Mr Boško Budisavljević, and attended by a number of the residents of local villages and towns of Vis and Komiža, including the Major of Vis, Mr Ivo Radica. A variety of interesting ideas across scales, ranging from strategic territorialist gestures to the smallest of elements which could make a big difference, for both those who lived and visit the spaces of inner island has been presented - including  a quirky and provocative Vine Pipeline (see that, and more, below). co+labo plans to participate in the forth Symposium and Workshop  which are scheduled for the same time, starting mid september 2015. 

Our sincere congratulations for an excellent organisation go to Boško, Eta, Manuela and many others whose efforts provided an infrastructure for success.
