NO ORDINARY FESTIVAL

OPEN25 provides a unique and inclusive setting for knowledge exchange and inspiration. From five main stages, we present thematic panel talks, interviews, film screenings, exhibitions, and artistic performances. In between sessions, the outdoor camp creates a relaxed atmosphere with music, bar and local street food.

In the Eyes of the Ordinary, revitalizes architecture´s capacity to bring forward extraordinary perspectives and insights through the ordinary. Through built and unbuilt visions, from history to the present, from urban infrastructures to rural landscapes, we ignite a discourse that shifts from an individualistic I to a collective WE.
