The Lighting Guerrilla Festival was initially started as a workshop at the festival "The Detectives of the Light" (Detektivi svetlobe); a mere one year later in 2008 it evolved into an exciting three-week spring event. The festival was founded by Strip Core, the comic art production section of the organisation Forum Ljubljana, and since its inception it explores the relations between light, the public and the gallery space. The events of this more and more popular festival include lectures, exhibitions and public interventions, installations and performances. In 2013 the Re:action exhibition presented past festival's works by Slovene artists in the Simulaker Gallery in Novo Mesto.


Venues and locations

Since its beginnings it has grown quickly in size and scope, the events take place not only in Ljubljana art venues such as the Vžigalica Gallery, the Tovarna Rog, the SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts, Kino Šiška, and the Slovene Ethnographic Museum, but also in Kranj and Novo mesto.

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

Collaborations and international cooperation

The festival regularly invites local, regional, and international artists and producers. Since its inception, the festival is co-financed with the help of the Ministry of Culture and the Municipality of Ljubljana. Since 2009 the festival has also received some funds from the French Cultural Institute Charles Nodier and in 2008 the programme of the festival was presented at the Ljubljana Spring Festival.

In 2011, the relation between light and sound is explored together with 16 artists, institutions and producers, adding new dimensions and locations. In the Light and Sound edition new collaborations have been established with: the Koper Grammar School - Ginnasio Capodistria, Cirkulacija 2, the Academy of Fine Arts and Design and the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Ljubljana.

The 2012 edition was dedicated to Movement and produced under the motto: "Art must be defended from the egos of those that govern, from their ignorance, bitterness and fear of the individuals!" In 2013 the international artists explored the notion of shimmering and transformed the festival's traditional outdoor venues in Ljubljana.
