The festival is well known for its luminous, site-specific 'exhibition objects' presented at several public locations, mainly in Ljubljana; its streets and gardens, the Ljubljanica bridges and quays, the French Revolution Square, the Tivoli Park, etc. By way of exhibitions, installations, workshops and performances, each year's programme is dedicated to a certain topic – among them the concept of shimmering, the functioning of darkness, and the role of light in shaping the urban experience.

First held in 2008, the Lighting Guerrilla (Svetlobna gverila) is a quite special festival that explores, elaborates, and sheds light on the myriad relations between light, the public space, and the "confines" of the gallery walls. Initiated a year earlier as a workshop at the festival Lighting Detectives (Detektivi svetlobe), it is founded and run by Strip Core, otherwise predominantly active as the comic art section of Forum Ljubljana.

The festival is well-known for its luminous, site-specific "exhibition objects" presented at several public locations, mainly in Ljubljana; its streets and gardens, the Ljubljanica bridges and quays, the French Revolution Square, the Tivoli Park, etc. By way of exhibitions, installations, workshops, and performances, each year's programme is dedicated to a certain topic - among them the concept of shimmering, the functioning of darkness, and the role of light in shaping the urban experience.


Venues, locations and collaborations

Being a festival that explicitly uses and transforms the "matter" of public space, it is spatially very dispersed and as such collaborates with a number of venues like the Match Gallery, Mala Galerija BS, the SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts, Kino Šiška, the Slovene Ethnographic Museum, RogLab, Španski borci Culture Centre, Cirkulacija 2, the Slovene Academy of Science and Arts, etc., but most of the program takes place outdoor.

It is also sometimes 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, Layer House in Kranj and some other places.

The festival has closely collaborated with festivals like the Spring Festival, the Strictly Analog Festival, the Exodos International Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts, Festival IZIS, CestaArt festival Gornja Radgona, R.o.R festival, SKLAD (Macedonia), Lumina (Portugal), Interference (Tunis), Visual festival (Finland), Visualia (Croatia), Art & Light festival (BiH), LAACT XXIII (Poland) … and institutions such as the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, the Faculty of Architecture, the Museum of Architecture and Design, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Secondary School for Design and Photography, Ljubljana, etc. It has been a part of the international project Spectrum 14|15.
