On 23 September, writer and researcher Irene Rodríguez in the Cuartel de Artillería in Murcia will host the discussion “Del taller a la calle: diseño contemporáneo”. The event will take place at the HUB Audiovisual in the Pabellón 2 and is part of the programme for the second edition of Festival A Gallete. According to the organisers, admission is open to the public; registration may be required for some programme items.
Rodríguez is known on social media as La Guía Vintage and her work brings together fashion history, gender perspectives and public engagement. The discussion will bring together regional design professionals to talk about the links between the workshop, craftsmanship and urban space. The aim is to combine accounts of practical experience with cultural studies perspectives and discuss current trends in contemporary design through examples from Murcia.
Festival A Gallete is run by elDiario.es Región de Murcia and presents itself as a forum for contemporary culture in the region. The chosen venue, the Cuartel de Artillería, has been a key cultural centre in the city for years; Pabellón 2, home to HUB Audiovisual, regularly hosts events that bring production, presentation and debate together. For the second edition, the organisers have announced several discussions, exhibitions and performances intended to showcase local creative work and enable new partnerships.
The organisers emphasise the connection with everyday urban culture and regional production chains. The planned discussion “Del taller a la calle: diseño contemporáneo” reflects this approach by focusing on the journey from design and craftsmanship into public space. Participants will show how materials, forms and stories from workshops take shape in the city—and how feedback from audiences and clients can lead to new designs.
The latest programme announcement follows earlier editions that, according to the organisers, attracted strong interest. No changes to the schedule have been announced. The date, venue and programme title were confirmed on 19 September. The event offers Murcia’s creative community an opportunity for visibility and networking at short notice; for institutions and urban development, it offers ways to integrate design expertise into local projects.
