Since 2016 the Liszt Institute Ljubljana, previously named Balassi Institute Ljubljana, a Hungarian Cultural Center is located at Villa Urbana on Barvarska Street in the Ljubljana centre.

The Cultural Center of the Embassy of the Republic of Hungary in Slovenia, the Balassi Institute Ljubljana, opened its doors in January 2016 in Villa Urbana on Barvarska Street in the Ljubljana centre.

The Balassi Intézet network of Hungarian cultural centers located in 22 countries worldwide is 80 years old. It was named after Bálint Balassi (1554–1594), a Renaissance lyric poet. The Balassi Institute's main aim is to foster strong cultural and diplomatic relations by presenting Hungarian cultural heritage as well as contemporary artistic practice, teach Hungarian language as well as support Hungarian minorities culture. Thus the centre supports cross-border cultural, artistic and scientific projects and organises its own events (round tables, discussions, etc).

The Balassi Institute is a member of EUNIC Slovenia, a network of the EU national institutes of culture located in Slovenia.

Programme

The programme scheme comprises a film club, literary evenings, exhibition, concerts, children's programme, conferences, debates, and courses in Hungarian language. The center promotes also popular touristic topics such as sports and healthy life style.

The Balassi Institute has already cooperated with a number of Slovenian partners, facilitating some national or international projects (PhotoMagic), or festivals, for instance International Music Festival Imago Slovenia, Ljubljana International Film Festival (LIFFe), and Animateka International Animated Film Festival.

Recent events

The exhibition Touching the Nature Organised by painter and illustrator Aleš Sedmak, the Kaverljag Workshop takes place in the artist’s atelier since 1998. The participants – mostly students from Central European academies of fine arts – have first dealt with environmental topics, but since the year 2009 they create illustrations for the blind and for people with visual impairment. This task proved to be a true challenge, since sight is the primary sense used by the visual artist. The exhibition is co-organised by students of the Academy MOME (Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design) in Budapest. Apart from the illustrations exhibited, there will also be an introduction to the process by which the illustrations were created.
