No other event in Spain is quite like the Iberian Biennial of Cultural Heritage. Thanks to its vast exhibition space and the opportunities offered for networking among sector professionals, plus a huge array of specialist activities and community events, the Biennial is at the cutting edge of its field in Europe.

Due to circumstances arising for the Covid-19 health crisis, this year’s Iberian Biennial of Cultural Heritage will be fully available in a special digital format titled AR&PA 2.0. The aim? To maintain our USP as a networking hub and reflection forum for professionals and institutions engaged in the field of the stewardship and management of Cultural Heritage.

Held between November 26th to November 28th 2020, AR&PA 2.0 will explore the theme of Resilience in Cultural Heritage via a digital platform.

The online format of the Iberian Biennial of Cultural Heritage AR&PA 2.0 will feature a virtual platform with all the latest tools required for users to interact and work together. AR&PA 2.0 will feature, as in previous years, the AR&PA Fair, AR&PA Forum and the AR&PA International Projects Prizes for Architecture students. The use of Information and Communication Technology will make the AR&PA 2.0 a fulfilling experience for the public, and retain the essence of AR&PA as a hub for networking and business for sector professionals and institutions.
