OPEN HOUSE GDYNIA
GDYNIA, POLAND
29–31 MAY

The motto of this year's edition of Open House Gdynia is Phenomenal!, honoring the 100th anniversary of the city and an attempt to decode the phenomenon of Gdynia. Festival participants are invited to explore almost a hundred programme offerings for the centenary of Gdynia, a journey through ten decades of a port city that continues to transform. The central theme of the Festival is the City, understood both as a social community and as a collection of micro-communities formed around architecture and neighborhood life.

In addition, the festival expands beyond Bern for the first time with a pop-up event in Biel/Bienne by opening ten selected buildings across the bilingual city of Biel.
