From April 27 to May 2 in Logroño, Concéntrico presents an extensive programme with 21 interventions, meetings and activities involving the work of more than 60 professionals from 15 different nationalities.
In its development, numerous groups and entities that promote new collective practices in the public space are integrated from the local level: educational centres of various levels, such as IES Sagasta, IES Batalla de Clavijo, CEIP Las Gaunas, or social entities associated with Logroño Intercultural and the Rafael Azcona Library, among others.

The ninth edition of Concentrico extends to new areas of the city, widening the object of its interventions from east to west: from the Plaza sin Nombre in the neighbourhood of Madre de Dios to the Cubo; also from north to south: from the river Ebro to the new park above the railway station.
Locations and programmes such as Cities Ahead with Goethe-Institut provide a constantly evolving listening to continue to raise debates that look at the city itself. These shared practices extend the temporality of Concéntrico. Specifically, Hollmén Reuter Sandman’s Birdhouses intervention, which opened in mid-March, facilitates the nesting of birds in La Glorieta del Doctor Zubia and will coexist in the central park until the end of August.
