"Trobades amb..." at CaixaForum
Take part in "Getting to know..." (Trobades amb...) and connect with the most interesting creators and artists.
While art speaks for itself, the cycle is the perfect opportunity to talk to the most outstanding creators of the moment.
"Trobades amb..." or "Getting to know..." returns to CaixaForum València from 31 January to 9 May 2025, a space where curiosity and creativity come face to face.
They are not lectures, but rather meetings aimed at generating questions, discovering processes and connecting with art at its core.
Here we not only listen, but also interact, investigate and, above all, discover.
"Trobades amb..." (Getting to know...) Schedule
31 January - Riki Blanco
The first meeting is with illustrator Riki Blanco, whose career crosses borders, with work published in The New Yorker, The New York Times and Forbes.
However, he is not just about drawing. He will also discuss poetry, theatre, video art and music and his characteristic lyrical humour and irony.
28 February - Ana Oncina
The illustrator who won over thousands of readers with "Croqueta y Empanadilla" will also be present. She will reflect on the power of comics to connect with the public and to tell stories.
28 March - La Manso
Adriana Manso has turned her resin rings into cult objects, worn by stars such as Madonna and Rosalía.
During this meeting, she will share her career path with us, from her beginnings to how she has managed to turn her passion into a benchmark in contemporary fashion.
9 May - Marta Pazos
The artist closes the cycle with her vision of theatre and set design.
Stage director, playwright and tireless creator, her visual language has revolutionised the Spanish stage and she is here to reveal all her secrets.
Although you don't know what to expect from the experience, one thing is for sure: you will come away with new ideas and plenty of inspiration.
Come, get involved and let art do the talking!

The Tribunal of Waters: UNESCO heritage live every Thursday
Do you want to experience one of Valencia's oldest traditions first hand?
Then take note because every Thursday at noon, under the majestic Door of the Apostles of the Cathedral of Valencia, you can watch the Tribunal of Waters, which has been declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
This event brings together eight farm workers, dressed in their traditional black blouses, to settle irrigation disputes live and in person.
They carry it out in Valencian, in keeping with a thousand-year-old rite that dates back to Arab times, no less.
And it is still effective!
This tribunal, considered a model of justice to be followed for its efficiency and speed, is the only legislative structure that has survived since the time of Jaume I.
The verdicts it issues in disputes in the Valencian huerta, which are not subject to appeal, are handed down by the members from 17th century wooden and leather armchairs.
If you want to see this ritual and make the most of it, try to arrive in good time.
This way you can see how the trustees prepare themselves in the "Casa Vestuario", in front of the Cathedral door, and make sure you don't miss any detail of that day's session, because it usually lasts very little time when there is no litigation.
Come rain or shine, the tribunal is always held, except if Thursday is a public holiday and the session is brought forward to Wednesday of the same week.
It is a must-see event whether you are visiting Valencia for the first time or if you want to know a little more about Valencian cultural and legal heritage.
Don't miss out!
