SESH

Konvent de Cal Rosal is a unique and culturally vibrant venue located in the small town of Cal Rosal, in the Berguedà region of Catalonia, Spain. Once an old convent and textile colony, Konvent was transformed in the early 2000s by a collective of artists, musicians, and performers seeking to create a multidisciplinary space for alternative culture, experimentation, and community-driven art. The site itself retains much of its industrial and historical architecture, offering an atmospheric setting that merges the region's industrial heritage with contemporary creativity.

Over the years, Konvent has garnered a reputation as one of Spain's most innovative underground art spaces, hosting exhibitions, residencies, workshops, and club nights that attract avant-garde artists and music lovers from across Europe. The venue is particularly notable for its role in revitalizing the area culturally, acting both as a creative refuge and a force for community engagement. While the core structure of the old convent and factory has been preserved, the site has evolved to include artist studios, performance spaces, and open air installations, adapting continually to the needs of its creative community.

Unlike traditional nightclubs, Konvent's programming spans music, visual arts, theater, and gastronomy, emphasizing collaboration and boundary-pushing experimentation. The venue's eclectic and often unconventional events have earned it a cult following, and it is frequently cited as a model for grassroots cultural regeneration in post-industrial spaces. Notable artists and collectives who have performed or exhibited at Konvent de Cal Rosal include international names such as Caterina Barbieri, Pan Daijing, and Morton Subotnick, alongside prominent regional talents like ZA!, Núria Graham, Marina Herlop, and Oso Leone, as well as interdisciplinary collectives such as El Pumarejo, Chiquita Room, and artists from the Sónar Festival circuit.
