ABOUT KIBLA (Slovenia)
Kibla is the first presentation and production institution in Slovenia and one of the first in Europe that acts in the field of multimedia an intermedia art and culture with the program through the whole year. We still include completely classical (“excluded”) media but in another context, namely with them we support the historical continuum of visual art and a bigger aesthetization and integration of electronic media. We support principles that lead towards complex systems of multimedia presentation and publish presentation material.
