The Lighting Guerrilla Festival was initially started as a workshop at the festival Detektivi svetlobe [The Decetives of the Light], only one year later in 2008 it evolved into an exciting three-weeks long spring event. The concept of the light represents the main topic of events at the festival: from lectures, exhibitions, public interventions, installations to performances.


Background, venues and locations

The festival was founded by Strip Core, the comic art production section of Forum Ljubljana, and since its inception it explores the relation between the light and the public and the gallery space.

Throughout the years it has grown in size and scope, the events not only take place in Ljubljana but also in Kranj and Novo mesto, hosted in different art venues: Vžigalica Gallery, Tovarna Rog, SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts, Kino Šiška, and Slovene Ethnographic Museum.

The festival is known for its luminous exhibition objects presented with public interventions (by artists like Aleksandra Stratimirović, Bernard Murigneux, NatanEsku, Benedetto Bufalino, Sophie Guyot, and many others), which take place in several site-specific locations: the Ljubljanica bridges and quays, the French Revolution Square, Tivoli Park, streets and gardens etc.

Collaborations and international cooperation

In 2011 and the 4th edition of the festival, the relation between the light and the sound is being explored together with 16 artists, institutions and producers. In the Light and Sound edition new collaborations were established with: Koper Grammar School - Ginnasio Capodistria, Cirkulacija 2, Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Faculty of Architecture from the University of Ljubljana.
