From Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 October, Madrid will host the ADN FORUM artistic and creative experience, thanks to the institutional support of Todo está en Madrid and Madrid Capital de Moda, backed by the Madrid City Council. An innovative event, sponsored by UDIT, University of Design and Technology, which will transform the urban landscape of Plaza de Colón in Madrid.

ADN Forum will thus become the first exhibition of Design and Installational Art in Maritime Containers held in Madrid, giving different designers and artists the opportunity to showcase their activity in an unconventional environment.

Along with UDIT, brands such as Lexus, Natuzzi Italia, Franke, Sixty Pro, Gira, Sanycces, Pinturas Valentine or Interiores Magazine, also sponsor and collaborate in the event.

A catalyst for creativity and innovation

ADN FORUM promises to be a catalyst for creativity and innovation, promoting dialogue and inspiration in the design scene of the city of Madrid.

Shipping containers, a symbol of commerce and transport, become three-dimensional canvases on which creativity and artistic expression come to life. Each of these containers will be intervened by different artists and design firms, using different techniques and materials to create installations that will offer visitors a broad spectrum of different creative expressions.

National and international talent

Students from the Interior Design Department of UDIT, University of Design and Technology, will present an immersive experience based on futuristic design and retro technology in a different look at the future.

The interior designer Patricia Bustos, the multidisciplinary artist Jacinto de Manuel, the Mexican interior designer Ana María Fernández, the interior architect Fabián Ñíguez, the 3D hyperrealist creator Pablo Aragón and the sculptor David Magán will be some of the participants in this edition of ADN FORUM.

A cultural and creative industry with the aim of promoting design, architecture and culture in Spain. 

ADN FORUM's mission is to bring together the best specialists in each sector to organise round tables in which to share ideologies and concepts focused on art and culture; at the same time, it creates synergies between stakeholders in the field, such as design firms and business leaders, to create links between them through different annual events in the city of Madrid, as well as in different cities internationally.

In addition, ADN FORUM also seeks to create sustainable links over time between society and the creative work of professionals such as photographers, product designers, gallery owners, art historians, artisans, painters, sculptors and artistic innovators.
