Cirkulacija 2 is a transdisciplinary art collective that was founded in 2007 and which is dealing with longer-term practices in the area of contemporary technological art. They use different media approaches (radio, television, video, robots, mechanisms, devices ...), visual elements, and sound for an artistic expression.
The collective is socially engaged and had been situated in Tovarna Rog in a defunct heating station, which also provided the inspiration for the group's name. The permanent members are Stefan Doepner, Borut Savski, Jakob Hariš and Boštjan Leskovšek. They ironically declare their art as "Male Art" and actively cooperate with many other artists as Expanded Cirkulacija 2.
In 2014 Cirkulacija 2 moved to larger premises of the former wholesale shop in the defunct Tobacco Company (Tobačna) complex. In 2019, they had to move of these premises and in 2020 found a semi-temporary venue and production space in the Ajdovščina Underpass.

Following the success of theirs debut features Idle Running (V leru, 1999) and Bread and Milk (Kruh in mleko, 2001) Staragara was established as an independent non-profit cultural organisation in 2003 by filmmakers Janez Burger and Jan Cvitkovič. Although it is primarly focused on film production (its unorthodox films have won numerous international awards), Staragara also produces commercial spots, contemporary dance performances by the choreographer Magdalena Reiter and occasionally organises special dance events and programmes.
In 2016 Staragara co-produced Morten Traavik's Liberation Day (2016), a much lauded documentary about the Slovene rock band Laibach performing in North Korea.
Circus Fantasticus, a film by Janez Burger produced by Staragara, winner of the Vesna Award for Best full-length film and Kodak Award, 13th Festival of Slovenian Film 2010
