The Biennal de Pensament is a project promoted by the Barcelona City Council in 2018 with the aim of debating the role of cities in the great challenges of contemporary society. This year, for the first time, it is screened in three different capitals simultaneously: Barcelona, Valencia and Palma.
Biennal de Pensament is held from October 10 to 16 and aims to reflect on public space from four axes: city, culture, democracy and technology. The program includes conferences, performances, artistic installations and the Faber Llull residency programme.
