Leeds In Barcelona: A Creative Encounter

Brief

As a follow-up event to the first Leeds in Barcelona project we wanted to create something even bigger this time. Our outlook was the same: to showcase creative talent and emerging artists from Leeds. 

Solution

A two day event packed with music, fashion, design and insights from creative minds from Barcelona and Leeds. We brought a delegation of 16 members from Leeds to Barcelona, to name a few:

Music: I Call Shotgun, Back to Basic Dj’s Dave Beer and Tristan Da Cunha, Fashion/Design: Dom Dick & Harry, James Steward, Tech: Imran

The event was divided into two parts, a conference focusing on the creative economy at IED Barcelona and a party at the Hotel ME, with performances from the Leeds artists and a fashion show produced together with Barcelona and Leeds designers. 

Result

We gained significant media coverage from regional TV-stations, and national newspapers like the Guardian. The conference at IED Barcelona was sold out and the event at Hotel ME was visited by around 900 people.
