During 2024 and 2025, Irudika designed its own program in collaboration with the Guadalajara International Book Fair (Mexico). The first edition in 2024 led us to create the content for Spain as Guest of Honor within the framework of FILustra, the FIL's International Illustration Forum. Following the success of this first year, in 2025 we coordinated four roundtables in the Illustrators' Hall in the international area of FIL, along with parallel events at Cuerda Cultura, a talk at the Zapopan Art Museum, and workshops within FILustra and FIDE (International Forum for Editorial Design), all within the fair.
Este próximo 2026 volvemos a la carga con Encuentros Irudika apoyando la internacionalización de la ilustración vasca con invitadas confirmadas como: Bea Aparicio, Ana G. Lartitegui, Asier Iturralde y Amaia Morán. Esta es nuestra manera de seguir con nuestro objetivo de construir puentes entre culturas y visiones artísticas diversas y dar a conocer el talento vasco en el resto del mundo.
Irudika, together with Filustra, has curated this content, thanks to the support of the Spanish Ministry of Culture, the Basque Government's Directorate of Cultural Promotion, the Etxepare Institute, Acción Cultural Española, CzechLit, DGLAB Portugal, the Xunta de Galicia, the Chilean Ministry of Culture, the University of Guadalajara, FADIP, and the Association of Professional Illustrators of the Basque Country.
