ValenFoto 📸 Photo Walks & Workshops - Paseos y Talleres

We are thrilled to partner with storyteller Alexey for this series of colorful events!
.
.
More info:

"Experiences that connect the dots in unusual ways" has been this group's motto/ethos since inception, so we are thrilled about this one!
Colors. Barrios. Photos. Memories. Minds, rewired. Hearts, uplifted.
Welcome to a special series of events: Secondary Colors Autumn. ☘️💜🍊

Each walkshop will introduce a new color with insights into its history, science, cultural impact, etc ... while we explore a different neighborhood of Valencia with an eye for that color. TED Talk meets Photo Hunt meets open-air Standup. This is not your average look-left/look-right proposition at all. This is a look-within, a-ha, wow-now challenge. Your job? Look & shoot. Hunt down the color, share the pics in a group & win 2 tickets to a standup show by @standupcomedyvalencia!

Camera, phone, whatever — just bring your curiosity, no experience needed.

PURPLE IN BENIMACLET
We'll wander through one of the most charismatic areas of Valencia characterized by its lively student-of-life vibe given its proximity to the multi-campus area of the city. We'll find out how to pray to the patron saint of the barrio. We might listen to Prince or quote Alice Walker. We might reminisce about bruises. We'll find out a purple heart emoji have to do with Revolutionary War. Etc. Etc. Etc.

RSVP
This is a MeetUp co-production between All Over the Place and ValenFoto so you may rsvp in either group.

COST
This event is donation-based. Hats will be passed, hearts will be warmed — your donations help us keep these walks sustainable! Suggested donation for MeetUps in Valencia average 10 euros. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend regardless of donation-ability.

Tuesday, November 3 - Orange in Ayora 🧡

ABOUT HOSTS
MEG ROUJE is a solo traveler, mom of a fluffy potato cat, IACC-certified color consultant, and photographer with synesthesia — she experiences names, music, and Tuesdays as colors. Which explains her lifelong obsession with it. Over the past 15+ years, she has written a thesis on color perception and the anomalous mind, taught color strategy to businesses and creative teams, and convinced brands that absolutely everything comes down to the shade of blue they choose. Her writing has appeared in Fast Company, and she is the creator of the Colors of Valencia project, which explores what makes this city so magnetic.

ALEXEY TIMBUL is a storyteller who has taught at Academy of Art University (San Francisco) and International Fashion Academy (Paris). Since 2023 he's been on the jury of CLEC Fashion Festival in the City of Arts and Sciences, a host of Book Lovers Unplugged literary open mic at the only English language bookstore in Valencia, and the producer of @StandUpComedyValencia shows. Most importantly, Alexey is a fulltime Gemini with ADHD.
