100 Years of the Slovenian Puppetry Art, exhibition organised by Mini Teater, International Union of the Marionette (UNIMA), Slovenia, supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Belgrade
In 1933, the first national centre was founded in Ljubljana when Slovenia hosted the UNIMA Congress, the last before World War II. After the war, until 1992, all activity was integrated in the Yugoslavian Centre. In 1992, the 16th Congress of UNIMA was organised by the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre. Since then Ljubljana has hosted the biennial Lutke International Puppet Festival.
UNIMA Slovenia cooperates with all the puppetry organisations in Slovenia and strives to promote puppetry by celebrating the World Puppetry Day, bestowing the Klemenčič and Pengov awards, and organising memorial exhibitions. In 2001, with UNIMA Croatia, the book Puppets from Nursery School to School was published. UNIMA Slovenia is co-organiser of the Primorska Summer Festival and the Summer Puppet Pier Festival in Maribor.
One of UNIMA's missions was the revival of the Lutka puppetry magazine, published by the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre since 2013, and the establishment of the Museum of Puppetry at the Ljubljana Castle, which opened in 2015. The touring exhibitions should tour Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Slovakia.
UNIMA is a non-governmental organisation affiliated to UNESCO which was initiated in 1929 in Prague by puppetiers from the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, France, Yugoslavia, Germany, Austria, Romania and the Soviet Union. The UNIMA office is located in Charleville-Mézières, France.
UNIMA’s principal aim is to promote contacts between puppeteers of different countries as a means of developing the theory and practice of the art of puppetry and to help preserve the living traditions of puppet theatre. UNIMA is currently present in 90 countries with National Centres and Representatives. It organises international congresses, conferences, and assists festivals.
