The Break 2.2 Festival (previously called Break 21 Festival) is an international art festival focused on urban, technologically supported artistic practices that can be considered part of the current avant-garde. The festival (now in its seventh year) has, in a relatively short time established itself as one of the most important festivals in Slovenia and gained worldwide recognition. Break 2.2 will take place from 17. 6. till 28. 6. at different venues in Ljubljana (Kapelica Gallery, Kiberpipa, Club K4, Slovenian Cinematheque, and Ljubljana Castle).

The selected theme for the Break 2.2 Festival is "Invisible Threat." By presenting a number of art projects and lectures at the symposium, each one treating different aspects of this theme, we want to make it possible for festival audiences to experience a reality in which dangers have been kept hidden. The goal of the Break 2.2 Festival is to inspire the artistic and theoretical presentation of seismographic threat-spotting and to stimulate the viewer's awareness of the surrounding world.
