LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial’s program for 2025 offers a wide range of exhibitions, workshops and activities for all audiences.
The center brings to the table such current issues as the relationship between technology, industry and society, with the exhibition Digital Machines. Technology, Industry, Society, which also includes the piece ‘Calculating Empires: A Genealogy of Technology and Power since 1500’, winner of the European Commission’s S+T+ARTS Award for innovation in science and technology driven by the arts.
Within the framework of the European project STUDIOTOPIA, LABoral is also producing this year an exhibition resulting from the artistic residency carried out by the artists Lea Luka Tiziana Sikau and Denisa Pubalova in collaboration with the scientist Felipe Lombó of the University of Oviedo. This initiative of 11 cultural institutions, co-funded by the Creative Europe program, organizes collaborative residencies between artists and scientists to work within the framework of the Symbiocene.
In addition, LABoral presents the exhibition Terranautas. Notas para un nuevo mapa del mundo, which brings together the work of six artists in residence at LABoral last year (Lucía Batalla, Inés Benito, Joana Carro, Olmo Cuña, Martín Huamanchumo, Gonzalo Mon).
The public program brings a varied proposal of activities, including LABoral Impulsa Creative Day, the popular art and design market LABShop, or the Urban Routes through Gijón by geographer David Alonso.
