Concéntrico is open to local entities that work throughout the year in the city from a social, cultural and inclusive perspective. For this reason, several of the interventions of the tenth edition will be the setting for multiple activities during the festival, with street radio, contemporary music, parkour, cinema and reading as the protagonists.
