| − | + | [[Café Open]] was established in [[established::2008]] as a ''LGBTIQ'' gathering place in Ljubljana by [[Barbara Rajgelj]] and other members of the collective that run the literature, music, social and art programme at this venue. It is gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual friendly but also not exclusive in any regard, the focus is on open approach to diversity. This is the reason that this venue is more than a café, since it is also functioning as a social space for exhibitions, lectures, presentations, literature readings and diverse workshops. | |

The programme for lectures and debates is run by Barbara Rajgelj, the literature programme by Suzana Tratnik and music programme by Nina Hudej. So far, there have been many collaborations with other representatives or LGBTIQ activists from Slovenia and abroad. It is also a venue where press conferences for the publication Narobe Magazine and other cultural events are being held. The literature and art programme includes artists from abroad and Slovenia. The venue serves as an open-minded meeting point, where anything between poetry reading to DJ workshop can take place.
The venue's logo, Open your mind!, emphasises the critical social engagement to the issues of the modern society, especially when it comes to sexual orientation and gender related topics. The homophobic attack on Café Open that occurred in 2009 resulted in a minor injury for a gay activist Mitja Blažič and a broken window of the café. Symbolically, this was a huge attack on a gay rights movement and an attack on a tolerant and open society that Café Open represents. The politicians and a part of civil society reacted immediately and condemned the homophobic violence. After this unfortunate incident the Café Open in its short history today symbolises the struggle for tolerance and a venue with diverse contents that are reflected from a critical stand.
