Cultural cooperation
EUNIC Spain
In 2013, the Slovene Embassy in Madrid expanded its cultural cooperation and became a member of the EUNIC Spain. The first joint project was the celebration of the European Day of Languages which offered a short Slovenian language course, a screening of the documentary on Jože Toporišič´s work, and book-crossing including works of Slovenian contemporary authors and many other language-based activities.
Music
The celebration of the 20th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Slovenia and the Kingdom of Spain took place in October 2012 at the Royal Palace in Madrid, where the Slovenian organist Dalibor Miklavčič displayed his musicianship on the Baroque organ dated from 1778. In June 2013 Miklavčič offered another organ concert at the prestigious Auditorio Sony at Queen Sofia´s Music Academy in Madrid.
Exhibitions
The successful exhibition of Nikolaj Pirnat´s illustrations from the first Slovenian translation of Don Quixote (1935–1937) has since 2012 been held at venues such as Pedro Almodovar´s Art School in Ciudad Real, Regional Library of Toledo, Cervantes´s Festival in Esquivias and in Cervantes´ home town Alcalá de Henares at Centro de Interpretación Los Universos de Cervantes.
The Slovenian artists, painter Cveto Marsič, and photographer Primož Bizjak are often invited to present their works at famous art galleries in Madrid. The Slovene Embassy organized Bizjak´s exhibition Difesa di Venezia at the Italian Institute of Culture in Madrid in collaboration with the Italian Embassy. In 2012 Cveto Marsič had an exhibition Tiempo de Absentia at Arnés y Röpke Gallery.
Heritage
The joint nomination of the mining sites Idrija (Slovenia) and Almadén (Spain) was listed in June 2012 in the UNESCO´s World Heritage of Mercury. The sites bear testimony to the intercontinental trade in mercury which generated important exchanges within Europe over the centuries. They represent the two largest mercury mines in the world, operational until recent times. See also Mercury mining heritage in Slovenia
Literature
The Embassy in Madrid regularly organizes literary evenings at Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid with the Slovenian poets and writers, among others also Aleš Šteger, Marko Sosič, Mojca Kumerdej and Tomaž Šalamun.
