Polica Dubova Cultural and Artistic Association

The Polica Dubova Cultural and Artistic Association was established in 2007 and is active in different fields of culture with a view to promoting Slovene literature in Slovenia and abroad. The association is engaged in a wide range of activities arranged by a group of authors, translators, lecturers and editors.

The association organises translation and other creative workshops, cultural events in Slovenia and abroad, visits of authors, and literary and artistic installations on the Internet. Much effort is put into supporting Slovene lectureships (for language, literature and culture) at foreign universities. One of Polica Dubova publishing focuses is on contemporary Polish and Czech authors. They introduce such authors as Jerzy Franczak, Ivana Myšková and Jan Němec to Slovene readers. Books are accessible in the Pólica Dubova Internet Bookshop and also in bookshops and libraries all over Slovenia.

The Days of Poetry and Wine Festival is a festival that hosts the younger generation of poets from all over the world. Up to 2009 it took place in Medana (a village in Goriška Brda next to the Italian border) during the last week in August, basically turning the village into the poetry capital of Europe for a week. In 2010 the 14th edition of the festival moves to Ptuj, a historical town of Roman origin in eastern Slovenia, one of regional partner cities of Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012. Since then the festival takes place in Ptuj. It is run by Beletrina Publishing Institute.
