SPARKS
Sparks are representing young, not yet established artists and daring, piercing ideas of already established artists. Dedicated to flashes of the new and innovative.
The first cycle of Sparks took place during three November evenings in 2013 and introduced young artists from various genres – contemporary dancers, film artists, musicians and photographers. Some of them are still attending primary and secondary schools and co-operating with distinguished artists, others are at the beginning of their individual artistic paths, each of them contributing a fresh approach to creation and an individual perspective on art.
Organizer: Bunker, Ljubljana
Artistic director: Mojca Jug
Adviser: Andreja Kopač
The programme is supported by: Ministry of Culture, Ljubljana City Municipality
