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.
