Adela is an international festival founded in 2023 by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory, dedicated to exploring practices emerging in the expanded field of generative arts. It considers artworks as algorithms embedded in (im)material infrastructures and observes them as emergent machines and open systems in which human and other agents participate in producing possible worlds. Besides various discussions, workshops, exhibitions and performances, Adela includes the annual Parameter Fair, dedicated to presenting and selling works that imaginatively engage generative methods, and Algorave, an evening of experimental live-coded music and visuals.
The year 2026 marks the centenary of the deaths of two significant Slovenian writers: the writer and women' s rights advocate Zofka Kveder (1878–1926) and the Slovenian poet Srečko Kosovel (1904–1926). To commemorate these anniversaries, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia has officially declared 2026 the year of the two writers.

Turjak Castle is located in the village of the same name approximately 20 kilometers from Ljubljana. It was first mentioned in written records in 1220 but was probably built even earlier, in the 10th or 11th century. It acquired its present-time appearance after an earthquake in 1511. It features the largest round bastion in Slovenia and a distinctive Renaissance defensive corridor in the shape of a triangle. The castle underwent a major renovation, initiated by the Ministry of Culture, between 2024 and 2026.
