The 24th Seville Flamenco Biennial, which will take place from 9 September to 3 October and is sponsored by Unicaja, will complement its programme of performances with a wide range of accompanying activities that will transform the city into a major stage for experiencing the art of flamenco.
Under the banner of “Other Gems”, the festival will offer exhibitions, film screenings, open-air performances, talks and cultural initiatives that extend the flamenco experience beyond traditional venues, providing both local audiences and visitors with a diverse, contemporary and deeply rooted perspective on this universal cultural heritage.
Among the highlights of the programme are the free “Flamenco in the Streets” performances, exhibitions exploring the history and evolution of the genre, and a variety of audiovisual, educational and family-oriented activities.
The programme is further enriched by initiatives such as “Seville on Display”, which brings together local cultural organisations to deliver film series, lectures, exhibitions and outreach activities, alongside experiences linked to gastronomy, photography and literature. Together, these initiatives create a comprehensive cultural offering that encourages participation, creativity and engagement with flamenco.
Through this extensive programme, the Biennial further strengthens its international profile and its capacity to energise the city’s cultural life, reinforcing Seville’s position as a global benchmark for flamenco.
The Seville Flamenco Biennial is organised by Seville City Council through its Tourism and Culture Department, with the collaboration of the Regional Government of Andalusia and the National Institute for the Performing Arts and Music (INAEM) of Spain’s Ministry of Culture, and is sponsored by Unicaja and GetYourGuide.
Unicaja’s support for this initiative forms part of its commitment to culture as a driver of social development in the regions where it operates. The bank views culture as a key instrument for social cohesion, education and heritage preservation, helping to strengthen the cultural ecosystem in areas with which it maintains close ties, including Seville and its province.
