OYOFE DINS DEL MOVIMENT
February 7, 2026OYOFE: Dins del Moviment
El 6 de febrer, ens reunirem per compartir un documental potent creat per Dlonze i Usman, dos ballarins, artistes i cineastes excepcionals, que ofereixen una mirada externa sobre el Festival OYOFE i exploren què representa el projecte per a la comunitat i la cultura.
En aquesta ocasió, també presentarem la propera edició del festival: OYOFE Vol.10.
A mesura que OYOFE entra en el seu cinquè any, sentim que ha arribat el moment d’implicar més profundament la ciutat. El projecte ha crescut més enllà de les nostres expectatives i, perquè pugui continuar creixent d’una manera sostenible, necessitem el suport de la ciutat, de les institucions culturals i de totes les persones que creuen en la visió.
Aquesta trobada és una oportunitat per compartir la feina realitzada al llarg dels anys, així com els objectius i els reptes que encara tenim al davant. Un esdeveniment cultural d’aquesta dimensió, construït sense suport financer, és extremadament difícil de sostenir.
A través d’aquest espai d’intercanvi, esperem connectar amb socis i suports que ens ajudin a tirar endavant la visió i a garantir el futur d’OYOFE.
