Teixidores 2026 is structured around the professional sessions, taking place from 13 to 15 November, and a programme of parallel activities that includes visits to creative and performance venues and attendance at shows in the IF Barcelona Festival. This complementary itinerary is aimed especially at invited international professionals, with limited places available for performances and access subject to advance booking.

PROFESSIONAL SESSIONS 13–15 NOVEMBER

13 NOVEMBER · INSTITUT RAMON LLULL (BARCELONA)

Organised by the Institut Ramon Llull as part of Teixidores (IF Barcelona).

12–1.30 pm. First Teixidores 2026 professional session: Mapping Otherness: International Collaboration Experiences.

An international meeting and roundtable bringing together professionals from different cultural contexts to reflect on how otherness transforms programming, mediation and international cooperation practices. The session will explore strategies for building more horizontal networks, fostering relationships of trust and promoting new models of international collaboration.

A talk by visual artist, theorist and activist Daniel G. Andújar. Founder of Technologies To The People and a long-standing member of irational.org, his work critically examines the relationships between technology, power, surveillance, democracy and inequality. His contribution presents art as a space capable of sustaining distance, opacity and disagreement, while building forms of complicity that do not depend on similarity.
