On this occasion, poets Álvaro Piedelobo, Aurora Gargu, Pablo Urizal, and Paula Carrillo will invite conversation, taking advantage of the complicity of the night, generating intimate spaces of creation where, just like in dreams, words can become anything else when touched by listening. hablalatinta. proposes an invitation to the deepest corners of our dreams through sight, words, and poetry, distributing a notebook among attendees as a diary of dreams, questions, and doors that we will open together on the most vibrant night in the city of Oviedo.

MISTLETOE Adelaide
Location: Guillermina Caicoya Gallery. C/ Principado, 11.
Time: 8:30 PM to 11:30 PM. (Two 45-minute screenings at 8:30 PM and 10:30 PM)
MISTLETOE is Adelaida's second album, the fruit of the last year she spent living in a Victorian house in London. Its enchanted garden, its curious inhabitants, and its magical events are the protagonists. An album full of questions, with few answers, guided by a series of delicate sonic mantras that move from ambient choral to the most baroque and dark electronica. MISTLETOE is an ASMR labyrinth filled with sighs, grunts, and unbridled desires. Her sound blends the eclectic and the experimental to offer us the most avant-garde art pop. The album's voice and production pose a constant journey guided by the artist, who acts as a rhapsode. The infinite textures and tones of her voice guide the audience through a labyrinth that resonates here and there until they reach their destination.
Activities Plastic Arts
GIL MORÁN: TEN HANDS
Location: Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias. Extension Building. Plaza de Alfonso II, 1.
Time: 22:00 a.m. to 23:00 p.m.
Enjoy a unique and intimate experience with artist Gil Morán in a presentation followed by an intense body language performance. Before your eyes, Gil will create two impressive ink drawings on large-format paper, revealing the magic of creation in real time. You will witness how ancestral movements and breath control become powerful tools for channeling inner energy, transforming thoughts into strokes that emerge from the depths of one's being. This performance seeks to offer you a subjective and sensorial experience that connects body, mind, and art. During the performance, you will also have the opportunity to contemplate a work by Gil Morán himself, part of the Museum's painting collection, which reflects the artist's essence and his visual language.
GESTURE AND MATTER
Venue: University of Oviedo Exhibition Hall. Historic Building. C/ San Francisco 1.
Time: 17:00 PM to 02:00 AM. (3 guided tours of 45 minutes each at 20:30 PM, 21:30 PM, and 22:30 PM)
Gesture and Matter is a contemporary art exhibition that brings together fourteen artists from the Asturian scene. Different generations and diverse styles coexist in an exhibition in which the expressiveness and strong personality of each artist are reflected in their works. The Atelier Association, promoter of this project, is sensitive to the need to showcase, update, and document different currents and styles that have developed in our region throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The selection of artists takes into account a multigenerational perspective; On the one hand, there are some of the historical references who, at certain moments of their production, opted for material abstraction - such as Antonio Suárez, Orlando Pelayo, Joaquín Vaquero Turcios, and more recently, Elías García Benavides and Kely - and, on the other, those who, practically since their formation, have been betting and investigating the expressive possibilities of materials, gestures and stains, as is the case of Luis Fega, Ángel Guache, Gil Morán,
Pablo Maojo and the three representatives of the ABRA Group present at this exhibition: Hugo O'Donnell, María Jesús Rodríguez, and Vicente Pastor. Not to mention the challenges of María Vallina and Jorge Nava, young artists who continue to explore and forge new paths in contemporary art. During the Noche Blanca,
Santiago Martínez, curator of the exhibition, will conduct guided tours of the show.
