Slovenia and India have not yet established a strong cultural cooperation. Nevertheless, the legal basis between two states was established with a bilateral agreement in the fields of science, education, and culture, signed in 2009.


== Literature and performing arts ==

Several writers from Slovenia have made guest appearances in India in recent years ([[Brane Mozetič]], [[Veronika Dintinjana]], [[Andrej Blatnik]], [[Suzana Tratnik]]). In this respect, the embassy cooperated with Sahitya Academy in Bangalore and with the National Centre for Performing Arts in Mumbai when they hosted author [[Evald Flisar]] at the Fourth Mumbai International Literary Festival.

The embassy strongly supported screenings of films from Slovenia at various venues across India. In 2013 the short documentary ''One Sight'' by [[Miha Kalan]] was shown at the Tiger Pawn Sports Film Festival in New Delhi. The same year the embassy supported screenings of ''Dual'' by [[Nejc Gazvoda]] at the 44th International Film Festival of India in Panjai, ''Koyaa &ndash; The Extraordinary'' at the International Children's Film Festival India in Hyderabad and ''Good to Go'' by [[Matevž Luzar]] at the 15th Mumbai Film Festival.

The embassy was also involved in presenting a lecture by [[Boštjan Vuga]] entitled the "Production of Publicness" and screenings about Stožice Stadium from the series ''Small and Smart: Contemporary Slovenian Architecture on Film'', at the InCite Gallery in Bangalore.

In 2013, during the event Sounds of Slovenia, musicians [[Janez Dovč]], [[Boštjan Gombač]], and [[Irena Preda]] performed in Mumbai and Chennai (India), and in Colombo (Sri Lanka). At the exhibition ''The Visual Identity of Slovenia &ndash; Designing for a State'' in May 2014, Slovenia's most popular musician [[Vlado Kreslin]] performed at the Sri Ram College of Commerce in New Delhi.

During Hackteria, an open-source biological art festival in Bangalore, the embassy supported the stay of artists [[Špela Petrič]] and [[Robertina Šebjanič]].
