Abstract

Programme

KIBLA Multimedia Centre focuses on new (contemporary) educational, cultural and artistic praxis, connecting education and research, culture and technology, arts and sciences, emancipating and demystifying new media as a creative tool in education and new forms of art.

Since 1996 it has run the KiBela Art Space, where exhibitions, performances, concerts, theatre, lectures, symposia, fairs and workshops take place. The gallery collaborates with Slovene artists and institutions and also with contemporary artists and arts organisations in Graz, London, Zagreb, Belgrade and the USA, presenting new approaches through intermedia as well as classic fine arts. KIBLA runs several festivals, including the Izzven Jazz Festival, Maribor (November), the KIBLIX Linux IT Festival and the acclaimed Skrite note Festival (Hidden Music Score Festival) programmes of avant-garde music. It also co-operates with numerous other organisations in Maribor, in Ljubljana (Ljubljana Jazz Festival, Druga Godba Festival) and abroad.

KIBLA is a founding member of the M3C Multimedia Centres Network of Slovenia. The Dravoskop cultural portal was developed that features the latest creative happenings in the Podravje region and presents also cultural organisations in all municipalities.

Projects

In 2007 the city of Maribor - in close collaboration with the five other cities in neighbouring regions - Murska Sobota, Novo mesto, Ptuj, Slovenj Gradec and Velenje - was selected for nomination to the European Commission as a European Capital of Culture for 2012. A complex winning proposal - Čista energija (Pure Energy) was prepared by KIBLA in co-operation with many collaborators.

International Co-operation

KIBLA is a member of many international networks and engages in numerous complex international projects, co-funded by EU (eg TRG-Transient Reality Generators, Travel in Europe and the Guild for Reality Integrators and Generators project). In 2009 Kibla coorganised ASEUM, the 1st International New Media Art Festival in the Philippines, together with SABAW Media Art Kitchen (Philippines) and Asia-Europe Foundation.

Venues

Today the venue comprises KiBela Art Space, Za:misel Bookstore and KiBar cyber bar. KIBLA runs also a dislocated Information and Communication Point (KIT) at Glavni trg 14 in Maribor, which offers internet access, consulting and educational programmes regarding information and communications technology.
