Španski borci Centre for Culture
updated 8 hours ago
Španski borci Culture Centre was constructed in Ljubljana’s Moste neighbourhood in 1981 according to the designs of architect Oton Jugovec. Since it was renovated and reopened in November 2009, it has been run by En–Knap Productions, making it the largest cultural venue in Slovenia managed by a non-governmental organisation. The centre provides a much-needed performance space in Ljubljana, as well as two rehearsal studios. Its programme focuses on contemporary dance and performance, and also includes music, visual arts, and literature. A varied programme for younger audiences invites children and young people to discover the arts through imaginative workshops, performances, and educational projects that combine dance, theatre, and music. The centre also features a reading room, a mediatheque, a café, and a gallery.

En–Knap Group (EKG) was founded in 2007 by En-Knap Productions as Slovenia’s first permanent contemporary dance ensemble — the realisation of an idea Iztok Kovač had already articulated in 1998: a repertory company with dancers as long-term collaborators. Dedicated to producing fresh and engaging contemporary dance and theatre performances in collaboration with prominent choreographers and directors, En–Knap Group’s work has been shown internationally to wide critical and audience acclaim. Since 2009, the group has had its permanent rehearsal spaces at the Španski borci Culture Centre, where they present their newest works.

En–Knap Productions was established in 1994, a year after the establishment of the international dance group En–Knap by the choreographer and dancer Iztok Kovač. It forms a site of momentum for contemporary dance in Slovenia while building cultural bridges across Europe. With a paradigm shift from project-based to ensemble-based repertoire, with the Španski borci Centre for Culture as a venue for contemporary culture and diverse audiences, the group and production continuously and comprehensively engage local and international audiences with dance across disciplines, media and genres, on stage, in film and virtual reality, across generations and communities, in education, and in public space and heritage, through regional and international productions and co-productions, guest appearances, networks, exchanges and collaborations.
Celje Regional Museum
updated 10 hours ago
Celje Regional Museum was founded in 1882 at the premises of the present-day Celje Music School, but already in the 1920s the city council discussed the option of moving the museum to the Old Counts' Mansion, a late Renaissance building. It was only after World War II that the mansion was renovated to be used as a municipal museum, presenting cultural, historical, and ethnological objects from Celje and its environs. Celje Municipal Museum was renamed the Celje Regional Museum in 1966. In 2012 the museum expanded to the renovated 15th-century Princely Palace built by the Counts of Celje. Today one can visit several permanent exhibitions that offer a versatile insight into the region's history along the ten archaeological and ethnological locations outside of Celje.
