CaixaForum opens a window on the home of musicians, artists and illustrators with Encuentros Con/finados

Starting this Friday, CaixaForum will open a window into the homes of musicians, illustrators, film directors and designers through the series of Encuentros Con/finados, with the participation of illustrator Paco Roca, film director Alba Sotorra and musicians such as Rodrigo Cuevas and Ferran Palau.

Since 2012, these events have taken place in CaixaForum and are now being broadcast online. It does so while preserving the values of the series and creating a collection of videos where the creators speak directly and share how they are experiencing confinement, what discoveries they have made, what projects they have been able to restore and what their concerns are. In these clips, which will be broadcast on Fridays, the creators finally share what they will do to celebrate the end of the confinement.

The series has featured outstanding artists such as illustrators Flavita Banana and Maria Hesse, graphic design studios Sin'n'Five and Alex Trochut, musicians Ferran Palau, Maria Arnal and La Bien Querida, artists such as Núria Güell, Eugenio Merino and Angelica Dass, graffiti artist Aryz and members of the French-Catalan circus company Baró d'Evel, among many others.

This Friday, the CaixaForum social networks will start an opera series, which will begin with The Magic Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, presented by Marcel Gorgori and a link to this performance. In addition, works of art that are currently confined to exhibitions on the CaixaForum network will be displayed, and their inspiration will lead to sharing a musical list, different insights and video clips, among other content. Over the weekend, the film El Grúfalo y la hija del Grúfalo will be shared as part of the Small Cinephiles series aimed at family audiences.
