Lluerna

Lluerna is the festival of highly emerging arts promoted by the Fundació Joan Miró. It functions as an ecosystem of support and visibility for creators who, although at an early stage of their career, maintain a strong commitment to research and are building their own artistic voice.

The festival proposes a unique format that combines professionalisation and public openness, structured around several axes:

Mentoring and guidance
Lluerna brings together a group of selected artists with a team of mentors -artists and curators- to share methodologies, receive structured feedback, and put their practice in dialogue with the professional context.

Studios on stage
This is the public heart of the festival. Work processes are brought onto the auditorium stage: instead of finished works, the artists present short live pieces -which may combine performance, music, text or moving image- within a dramaturgy that sits halfway between a studio visit and a staged situation.
Lluerna is aimed at artists seeking tools and context, at professionals -curators, critics, managers- interested in mapping the emerging scene, and at the general public who want to approach contemporary art from its moment of gestation.
