An international gathering of cultural professionals
For years, Oerol has been a meeting place for artists, programmers, producers, funders, and researchers passionate about site-specific work and performance in public space. In 2025, we are hosting a dedicated international professionals programme from 17 to 19 June, bringing together professionals from across Europe and beyond to explore the relationship between art, place, and community.
This year’s international gathering is particularly special as it marks the start of a new four-year cycle for IN SITU, the European platform for artistic creation in public space. Oerol is a founding member of this network, which supports artists working in public and non-traditional cultural spaces. During the festival, we will be welcoming colleagues from over 20 festivals across Europe, as well as partners from the LAND network and other cultural organisations worldwide.
Each day of the international professionals programme will begin with plenary sessions, featuring keynote speakers, panels, and discussions. The afternoons and evenings will offer time to experience the festival’s artistic programme with fresh perspectives.
Monday 16 June | Audiences and inclusion
Tuesday 17 June | Context meets festival
Wednesday 18 June | Rethinking artist development
Thursday 19 June | Landscape in practice
