On Saturday, November 15, the Canòdrom hosts the CruCruCru 2025 Festival, a day of critical reflection on artificial intelligence, communication, and design.
With the goal of collectively rethinking how to integrate technology in a fair and sustainable way, the festival combines debates, workshops, artistic installations, and collective creation proposals.
Organized by the cooperative l’Apòstrof, in collaboration with Marta Delatte (Liquen Data Lab) for production and curatorship, and supported by the Canòdrom – Digital and Democratic Innovation Athenaeum, the festival will blend dialogues, workshops, and artistic installations with participatory and co-creative activities.
