BID26. Bienal de Diseño Iberoamericano

The Bienal de Diseño Iberoamericano reaches its tenth edition with a programme centred on design as a tool for critical thinking, innovation and transformation, bringing together practices from Latin America, Spain and Portugal at Matadero Madrid.

The tenth edition of this biennial brings together recent design proposals from Latin America, Spain and Portugal at the Casa del Lector at Matadero Madrid. The gathering invites visitors to view design as a practice tied to the social, cultural, environmental and technological contexts in which it emerges, and it is structured as an active network of professionals, students and institutions from the creative ecosystem.

The programme combines exhibitions with dialogues, laboratories, brief presentations of projects and meeting spaces. The aim is to explore how design is developed from concrete realities and how it generates impact through processes, systems and relationships between disciplines and territories.

The biennial takes place every two years at the Central de Diseño at Matadero Madrid and has served as a point of reference for sector professionals since its first edition in 2007. Its advisory committee is made up of design figures from different fields.
