Punto y Raya Festival arrives in Poland! The sixth edition of "the most abstract festival in the world" took place from October 25th-28th 2018 in Wroclaw, offering its traditional meeting point for artists and lovers of the best Abstract Art in Motion.

On this occasion, we were hosted and coproduced by CeTA (Audiovisual Technology Center), heir of the exquisite legacy of the Wrocław Feature Film Studio (1954-2011), and an innovative production and post-production centre. Complementary installations and workshops for all audiences were held at the Four Domes Pavilion (Museum of Contemporary Art), and Barbara, right at the heart of the city.

We celebrated four intensive and wonderful days of pure Form, Colour, Motion and Sound hosted by this lovely city, whose history dates back over thousand years and has been dubbed Best European Destination in 2018.

Pawilon Czterech Kopuł Four Domes Pavilion

The Four Domes Pavilion, the seat of the new branch of the National Museum in Wrocław, was built in 1912. In 1953 it became part of the Film Studios in Wrocław, and the exhibition rooms were repurposed to serve this new function, destroying the original layout. After the Film Studios’ prolonged decline in the 1990s, the Four Domes Pavilion was designated for the contemporary art collection of the National Museum in 2009. The overhaul to restore the building to its original function was completed in 2013-2015.

This wonderful building will house Punto y Raya Installations & workshops for all audiences during the festival.
