The Purple Walk • Secondary Colors Autumn - Photo Hunt × Stand Up

Come discover the stories and colors of Valencia's lesser-known barrios! 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. Meeting point: at the tram station Vicente Zaragoza. https://maps.app.goo.gl/6kACH8f5RE84XB9u8 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.
