The opening party of Valencia Design Fest al MuVIM will give way to initiatives like Time and matter, the craft exhibition curated by Estudio Savage, focused this year on gastronomy. Architecture will be another central theme in the program: the relationship between people and their environments will be analyzed through presentations and conferences by professionals in the field. It will also look back, to the most disruptive design of the seventies and eighties, led by key players such as the Valencian fashion firm Fashion trafficking, to which The Boat i l’Valencian Design Archive they have dedicated an exhibition to him. Speaking of fashion, the festival will close with the international meeting Future of fashion to La Harinera, which will focus on the challenges of the fashion industry in terms of sustainability and innovation. before, you can enjoy the Night of cinema and architecture a The Film Library, where they will be projected My uncle, by Jacques Tati, i The Grand Budapest Hotel, and will be debated about the (in)utility of the modern in the world of architecture.
