The second edition of the Elisava Masters’ Talks, a series of free, public lectures featuring top-tier international creatives, will take place from November 2022 to May 2023.
This edition, which debuts a new venue at the COA (Centre Obert d’Arquitectura) auditorium and will also be available via streaming, aims to address current design issues through a program of six talks.
