Join MAS Context and the Instituto Cervantes of Chicago, in collaboration with Concéntrico, for an opening reception for the exhibition Concéntrico: Urban Innovation Laboratory.

Logroño-based director of Concéntrico, Javier Peña Ibáñez, will give a talk about organizing an architecture festival such as Concéntrico, which originated in a small city like Logroño and has achieved international renown for its participation and media impact. During the talk, Peña Ibáñez will also discuss the cultural dimension of the project and the relationships it has established since its foundation in 2015. Iker Gil, curator of the exhibition, will introduce and moderate the event.
