Kunigunda Festival of Young Cultures


Kunigunda Festival of Young Cultures is a nine-day event with a 26-year tradition, taking place in the second half of August at various locations throughout Velenje. Its name originates from local folklore, narrating the tale of a beautiful young girl who supposedly lived in Velenje Castle. She was a castle maiden accused of witchcraft and thrown into the castle well as punishment, rumored to have haunted the castle hallways since then. However, the festival, organized since 1998, aims to honor the innocent girl with a celebration of young people's culture, challenging the misconception that they are not cultured enough. Like Kunigunda, alternative culture seeks its place under the sun. The festival does not judge but offers an opportunity for it to flourish with charm and youthful enthusiasm. Kunigunda evolves and improves each year, allowing visitors to get to know, befriend, and enjoy it.

Every year, the festival adopts a new visual identity and logo, considering its promotion and brand identity as a work of art. The heart has been Kunigunda's official logo since its early days, symbolizing a rhythmically pulsating organ that drives the body, the motor of life, and a symbol of love. It communicates that everything at Kunigunda Festival is done with love and comes from the heart.

Panč Festival


Panč Festival is an international stand-up comedy festival which was established in 2008 in Ljubljana by the Kurz Rock Vibe crew, that later become Ceh za smeh (Association of Laugh). This several-day-long event usually takes place at the Ljubljana Castle courtyard and is the central stand-up occasion in Slovenia. It has hosted most, if not all, of the leading Slovene performers from this field as well as a strong international line-up, with the guests being invited from all over the world. The name of the festival is a derivative of the term punchline, which connotes a joke's climax.

Since 2010, in addition to the main summer event, a winter edition of the festival has also been taking place, a slightly more low-key evening called Zimski Panč (Winter Panč). Held at different Ljubljana venues like Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture, Cvetličarna, and the Festival Hall, it was for a time also simultaneously organised in Maribor at Narodni dom Maribor. The festival also had an over the border venture in Zagreb, Croatia, where a sister event, Pančić, was organised.

Pisana Loka Festival


Pisana Loka is a local summer festival taking place at various locations in Škofja Loka in August. At first a rather modest endeavour, it began in 2008 and has since grown into an annual event of ten packed days, encompassing music, theatre, urban sports, stand-up comedy, a children's programme, film screenings and more. The name of the festival means Colourful Loka, a bit of an archaic way of calling Škofja Loka when alluding to the charms of the town.

The festival locations are numerous, among them Sokolski dom Cultural Centre, Loka Castle, the summer garden of various local bars, some smaller squares and the main square of the old city centre (one of the best-preserved medieval squares in Slovenia).

Overview



Fields of Experimental Music in Slovenia

Luka T. Zagoričnik


Let's take a ride on the term experimental music, which currently mainly defines certain more fringe musical practices, across the expanses of various musical plains, styles and genres. We can apply this (overly) broad term to designate the varied creative simmering in certain segments of the present-day Slovenian music scene. A scene that spans the realms of electro-acoustic music, musique concrète, experimental music in the context of modern classical music, free improvisation, experimental electronic music and sound art as well as their associated present-day trends. This scene is diverse and exceptionally agile. It has developed a strong infrastructure for itself (festivals, concert series, labels, international networks) and exists in the space between self-organising and DIY models and institutional environments.
