Vodnik Homestead, 2006

The renovated Vodnik Homestead was opened as the cultural centre of the Ljubljana suburb of Šiška in 1984. Two rooms on the ground floor and mezzanine were used for art exhibitions, and since 1989 the spacious attic has been made available for theatre activities and other cultural events. Vodnik Homestead ran various small performances (puppetry, theatre) and workshops, as well as a visual arts programme, which features the work of local artists, ethnic minorities and marginal groups.

The Municipality of Ljubljana selects the manager upon a public call. The Divja misel Institute took over in 2015.

Centre for Sonorous Arts 2012-2014

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. The aim of the Centre was to construct the first fully dedicated sonorous theatre, featuring the inventions and advancements developed for this purpose throughout the years by the participants of Hanna’s Atelier for Sonorous Arts.

Divja misel Institute takeoff

In 2015 the Divja misel Institute, known round Slovenia for its Knjižnica pod krošnjami (Library under the Treetops), launches the new programme scheme, turning the Vodnik Homestead into the "house of reading, writing and story-telling".

In June, during the Chelsea Fringe Festival, a small herb garden was planted in front of the new home, to complement the Library under the Treetops reading sessions in the green oasis in the middle of the city. In September the homestead saw an "illustrated" opening with the exhibition dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Ciciban, Slovene cult magazine for children.
