The illustration draws inspiration from «narobe svet», the traditional motif of Slovenian culture depicting the upside-down world, in which animals take over human dominion and celebrate this reversal. Here the metaphor becomes an image to tell the story of minority languages: normally pushed to the margins, for the duration of the festival they take center stage, becoming the absolute protagonists of an order turned in their favor.

The artwork comes in two versions, designed to accompany the different moments of the Suns Europe 2026 festival: a daytime version, bright and lively, accompanying the collateral events, and a nighttime version, more intense and dramatic, created for the concerts. The two variants speak to each other like two faces of the same festival.

“We asked Ruggge to reinvent the image of Suns Europe... and we were right! His aesthetics is as vibrant and anarchic as the wild roots of the languages we represent. Firmly rooted in the black soil, they sprout in a pagan hubbub of shapes and colours. This is the spirit we want to convey to all those participating in the next edition of our festival.”
Leo Virgili, artistic director of Suns Europe
