In May, the capital will come alive again in the glow of numerous lighting projects that will illuminate the city center. This year's Svetlobna gverila festival 2018 is dedicated to colors - they will explore the role of colors in the context of contemporary art, their symbolism, but also their physical properties, where we can achieve unique color effects through various manipulations. The festival, which will string together a series of events and guides, also includes the Light Guerrilla Laboratory, an educational platform where the artistic ambitions of the interested public will be taken care of in numerous workshops. It will take place between May 11 and June 16.

Many light installations, objects and projections, which will be seen on Ljubljana's streets and squares, as well as in two gallery installations, form the core of this year's festival of light, Light Guerrillas 2018, which this year marks its twelfth edition. If last year, with the theme of Memories, they faced the challenges of memorizing and reminiscing, this year they are entering more vivid and colorful coordinates: the theme of this year's festival is colors. The latter are an inseparable, even defining part of light and thus of everything we can see - at the same time, it is only a matter of small differences in the wave frequencies of the visible spectrum of light, which our eyes and brain convert into the sensation of what we call color...


The festival also has a two-part design this year: in addition to the opening of the festival, when projects in Vžigalica gallery and its surroundings, another set of festival events is also planned for the second time in a row in Palaces Confectionery. In addition to the festival events at Summer museum night (16. 6.) this year they also commemorate the first with a special program International Day of Light (16. 5.). As in the past, they connected with several Ljubljana educational institutions and, of course, with many individuals, partners and co-producers; at the same time they are in the set The Light Guerrilla Laboratory also prepared a program of workshops. One of the goals of the festival is to create a different image of the city - this time they will dresses in vibrant colors – and they believe that they will once again succeed in creating a memorable and exciting artistic manifestation, which will once again stimulate the imagination of the inhabitants and visitors of Ljubljana.
