From Culture.si





UNESCO defines intangible culture as the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills that communities recognise as part of their cultural heritage. It is transmitted from generation to generation, constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, their interaction with nature and their history, and provides them with a sense of identity and continuity, thus promoting respect for cultural diversity and human creativity.




In Slovenia, intangible heritage is typically divided into the following areas:

Its safeguarding is based on the UNESCO Convention (2003) and the state law on natural and cultural heritage (2008) and is coordinated by the Slovene Ethnographic Museum.

The National Register of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Slovenia lists over 80 items, among them: the Škofja Loka Passion Play; the Laufarija in Cerkno; the Procession of the Kurent – Korant; the making of Idrija bobbin lace; Ribnica woodenware; the Traditional production of sea salt; the Traditional breeding and keeping of Lipizzaner horses at the Lipica stud farm; Slovene folk-pop music; the Reading Badge movement; and the Painting beehive panels. See also the list of intangible heritage festivals.

The UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity also includes the ones related to Slovenia: the Škofja Loka Passion Play (inscribed in 2016); the Door-to-door rounds of Kurenti (2017); the Bobbin LaceMaking (2018); and the Art of dry stone walling, knowledge and techniques (Croatia, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland) (2018).

Idrija Lace Festival

For centuries, the town of Idrija has been associated with mining and lacemaking as its trademarks. The Idrija Lace Festival has presented works of Idrija Lace (idrijska čipka) since the early 1980s. Every June, lacemakers show their creations in the streets of Idrija, amidst lacemaking competitions, exhibitions and thematic lacemaking workshops. It is also possible to buy technical equipment for lacemaking and visit exhibitions of other folk trades and crafts.

This vivid festival is accompanied by international lacemakers' gatherings, workshops, demonstrations, competitions, concerts and outdoor parties.
