First held in [[established::2008]], the [[Lighting Guerrilla Festival|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 [[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 [[established::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.  
+
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.

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 Centre for Urban Culture|Kino Šiška]], and the [[Slovene Ethnographic Museum]], but also in [[SI-4000 Kranj|Kranj]] and [[Municipality of Novo mesto|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.

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 Centre for Urban Culture|Kino Šiška]], the [[Slovene Ethnographic Museum]], [[RogLab]], [[Španski borci Culture Centre]], [[Cirkulacija 2]], the [[Scientific Research Centre (ZRC SAZU), Slovene Academy of Science and Arts|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 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, Ljubljana|French Cultural Institute Charles Nodier]] and in 2008 the programme of the festival was presented at the Ljubljana [[Spring Festival]].

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, University of Ljubljana|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.
  
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, University of Ljubljana|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.

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

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.
