A line-up that anticipates the future of creativity<\/h6>\n

This year, OFFF<\/em> unveils a bold and diverse programme with more than 40 confirmed speakers and studios, and many more to be announced.

\u201cWhat We Make It\u201d: OFFF 2026\u2019s visual campaign by Uncommon Creative Studio<\/h6>\n

The visual identity for OFFF 2026<\/em> was developed by Uncommon Creative Studio<\/em><\/a> and unveiled by its co-founder, Nils Leonard.<\/p>\n

Under the slogan \u201cWhat We Make It\u201d<\/em>, the campaign makes a clear statement: creativity doesn\u2019t just happen \u2014 it is collectively built through references, dialogue and intention.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the slogan What We Make It, the campaign makes a clear statement.\u201d<\/h2>\n

This concept celebrates the power of collaboration as a method, not just an outcome. It\u2019s an open invitation to the global design community to join in, share, participate and help shape the present and future of visual culture.<\/p>\n

Barcelona, World Capital of Architecture… and Creativity<\/h6>\n

OFFF Barcelona 2026<\/em> aligns with a landmark event: UNESCO<\/em>‘s designation of Barcelona as World Capital of Architecture 2026<\/em>. In this context, the festival will feature talks by major international architecture studios such as Foster+Partners<\/em><\/a> and CODA<\/em><\/a>, highlighting the fusion between design, space and technology.<\/p>\n

Contemporary photography also takes centre stage, with renowned artists including Paloma Rinc\u00f3n<\/em><\/a>, Nathalie Gordon<\/em><\/a>, Reuben Wu<\/em><\/a> and Noah Dillon<\/em><\/a> \u2014 the latter being the artist behind the album cover of LUX<\/em> by Rosal\u00eda<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Voices leading the creative vanguard<\/h6>\n

OFFF 2026<\/em> brings together both established and disruptive talents from across the creative landscape. Among them is Reuben Wu<\/em>, who reimagines landscapes through light and drone-based visuals, and Maggie West<\/em>, whose immersive installations blend photography and technology \u2014 including the first-ever photographic exhibition at Coachella Festival<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Also featured are key figures from the music and entertainment industries, such as Valtteri<\/em> (collaborator of FKA Twigs<\/em> and Travis Scott<\/em>), and Silent Partners Studio, creators of visual shows for Taylor Swift<\/em> and Harry Styles<\/em>.<\/p>\n

New formats: mentoring, pitching and community<\/h6>\n

The festival reinforces its commitment to the emerging creative community with the NXT<\/em> project, where students from eight Barcelona-based creative schools will present their projects during a public pitching session on 16 April.<\/p>\n

OFFF 2026<\/em> also debuts a new format: TIPS & TRICKS<\/em>, a series of intimate sessions where six creatives will share their insights, experiences and personal reflections on leadership, career reinvention and creative growth with small groups of attendees.<\/p>\n

The screen: art in motion for the entire city<\/h6>\n

One of the festival\u2019s most anticipated public events is The Screen<\/em> \u2014 a free open-air projection experience on the fa\u00e7ade of the Disseny Hub<\/em>. This edition will once again be open to the general public and includes:<\/p>\n

– Works by six guest artists such as Onionlab<\/em>, Somnialab<\/em> and Burton Rast<\/em>.<\/p>\n

– An open call allowing emerging and established creatives to see their works projected in large format from 2 February to 2 March.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the iconic OFFF Main Titles<\/em> \u2014 widely regarded as masterpieces of motion design \u2014 will also be screened publicly on The Screen<\/em>. This year\u2019s titles will be designed by the prestigious PJ Richardson<\/em>, a leading figure in international motion graphics.<\/p>\n

Tickets & access<\/h6>\n

The Full Pass<\/em> for the three-day festival is now available on the official OFFF Barcelona 2026<\/em> website. Day tickets and tickets for the official afterparty \u2014 to be held on Saturday 18 April at the legendary venue La Paloma<\/em> \u2014 will be released soon. Entry to the party is included with festival passes and open to the public.<\/p>\n

OFFF: a global creative network born in Barcelona<\/h6>\n

Since its founding in 2001, OFFF<\/em> has grown into a global creative platform, expanding through initiatives like OFFF On Tour<\/em> and OFFF Studio<\/em>. What began as a local festival has evolved into an international network of professionals, creators and visionaries who gather in Barcelona each year to share inspiration, challenges and cutting-edge projects shaping contemporary visual culture.<\/p>\n
