Biennial of Graphic Arts


Biennial of Graphic Arts is the world's oldest existing biennial exhibition of contemporary graphic arts. Founded in 1955 on the idea and endeavours of Božidar Jakac and under the great engagement of Zoran Kržišnik, to date the biennial has hosted well over 5,000 artists from 80 countries. The mission of the Biennial of Graphic Arts is to offer a critical review and reflection of contemporary developments in reproductive techniques and to point out the main ideas permeating contemporary graphic art.


It is organised by the International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana, established in 1986 due to the biennial itself. The biennial is a member of the International Biennial Association (IBA).

Lighting Guerrilla Festival


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.
