The place has two rooms on the ground floor, a mezzanine and a spacious attic, as well as a garden that functions along the lines of an old Divja misel Institute, the 'Knjižnica pod krošnjami (Library under the Treetops). The homestead, since 2001 a cultural monument of local significance, is also housing a music school.
Programme
The programme is quite diverse, with some of the typical events being regular plays and storytellings for children on Sundays, evening discussions with writers, poets, translators and film-makers, workshops on contemporary visual and comic art, various exhibitions dedicated to illustration, comics and, for example, to the 70th anniversary of Ciciban, Slovene cult magazine for children. There are two permanent exhibitions on Valentin Vodnik.
The Vodnik Homestead cooperates with various protagonists from the literary field, among them the I.D.I.O.T Group and Slovene Writers’ Association.
History and background
From mid-eighteenth century until the 1930s, the homestead actually used to be a tavern. Half a century later it was bought by the Municipality of Ljubljana and used for various purposes – it used to be a dislocated unit of the Šiška Library and has hosted various small performances (puppetry, theatre) and workshops, a visual arts programme and programmes for various marginal groups.
From 2012 to 2015 the Vodnik Homestead was managed by the Hanna's Atelier for Sonorous Arts, which established there a Centre for Sonorous Arts.
