First held in 2008, the Lighting Guerrilla is a quite special festival that explore and sheds light on the myriad relations between light, the public space and the confines of the gallery. Initiated a year earlier as a workshop at the festival "Lighting Detectives" (Detektivi svetlobe), it is founded and run by Strip Core, otherwise predominately active as the comic art section of Forum Ljubljana.

It is well known for its luminous, site-specific 'exhibition objects' presented at several locations in (mainly) Ljubljana – the Ljubljanica bridges and quays, the French Revolution Square, Tivoli Park, streets and gardens around Ljubljana, etc.

By way of exhibitions, public interventions, installations, workshops and performances, each year's programme is dedicated to a certain topic. Some of them were the concept of shimmering, the functioning of darkness, role of light in the shaping of the urban experience, and so on.

It is also venturing outside of Ljubljana, having its pre- and post-festival stops at the Simulaker Gallery in Novo Mesto, the Centralna postaja in Maribor, the Hrastnik Cultural Centre, and elsewhere as well. The festival has collaborated with institutions and festivals like the Spring Festival, the Strictly Analog Festival, the Exodos International Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts, the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, the Faculty of Architecture, the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO), etc. It is part of the international project Spectrum 14|15.
