What is the Aula de Narratives UV
The Aula de Narratives at the Universitat de València is a series of free encounters bringing together creators, writers, and thinkers to discuss art, literature, and social issues. In October 2026, the programme includes talks with Manuel Jabois (journalist and author of Malaherba), Alana Portero (writer and activist, known for La mala costumbre), dancer Nacho Duato, and author María Agúndez. Sessions will explore contemporary narrative, classism, and racism, with an open format for the public.
Programme and participants
The October 2026 sessions will take place at 19:00 in spaces such as the Capella de la Sapiència or the sala Matilde Salvador at La Nau. Confirmed guests include:
- Alana Portero: talk on literature and activism (date to be confirmed).
- Nacho Duato: discussion on dance and artistic creation (date to be confirmed).
- Manuel Jabois: debate on journalism and fiction (13 October, according to social media sources).
The cycle began in January 2026 with debates such as Centralism and peripheries (with journalist Salvador Enguix and geographer Joan Romero) and Narrating the threatened city (with Jordi Amat and Josep Vicent Boira). The programme is coordinated by Cristina García Pascual, a UV professor.

The sessions are aimed at university students, researchers, and the general public interested in culture and social debate.
