Culture.si Content Reuse/Worldwide Events Listings

Worldwide events on Culture.si

A selected listing of upcoming exhibitions, films, plays, concerts, performances, readings, residencies, and other events and activities involving Slovene artists and researchers abroad. A unique source of information, which offers a preview of future events around the world and a growing archive of international activity in the field of arts and culture.

Events organisers and producers are encouraged to send us their events for inclusion in our listings. In addition to posting your events on Culture.si, you can post the Culture.si data feed on your own website. This document explains how.

• regular events of Slovene language university departments abroad;
• past events (although all future events become part of our searchable archive of events).
