First held in 2008, the Lighting Guerrilla is a rather special festival that explore and sheds light on the myriad relations between light, the public and the gallery space. Initially started one 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 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.


Venues, locations and collaborations

Being a festival that explicitly uses and transforms public space, the festival is spatially quite dispersed and, furthermore, collaborates with a number of venues such as: the Vžigalica Gallery, the Tovarna Rog, the SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts, Kino Šiška, and the Slovene Ethnographic Museum, Španski Borci Cultural Centre, Cirkulacija 2, Slovene Academy of Science and Arts, the International Centre of Graphic Arts etc.

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.
