The Spider Festival, a festival of radical bodies, was founded in 2010 in Ljubljana under the auspices of Pekinpah and at the initiative of artist Matej Kejžar. It is dedicated to the critical exploration of the complex cultural and political climate, social tensions and paradoxes, contemporary taboos, and the most pressing issues – all through artistic expression.

The 2026 edition, titled “We Do Not Know What We Do Not Know”, explores questions of the body, knowledge, technology, and the ways we perceive and understand the world. The programme brings together international artists, performances, discussions, and community events that invite audiences to engage, reflect, and experience art from new perspectives.

Spider Festival is an international contemporary dance and performing arts festival that brings acclaimed local and international artists to Ljubljana each year. Also known as the Festival of Radical Bodies, it explores the intersections of dance, performance, music, critical thought, and social engagement.
