IRUDIKA RESIDENCES 2026 | CHAPTER 03.
We’ve had some incredible sunshine in Angoulême this week, though it’s just come to an end today with a very cold wind that looks set to stick around.
IRUDIKA RESIDENCES 2026 | CHAPTER 02.
The second week has passed; time seems to both speed up and slow down, with lots of people and new encounters. The highlight of the week for me was the sketching session that Rocio organized at her apartment. We drew each other with MDA people. Plus, the weather is amazing, and sometimes it’s hard to focus on work. So much sunshine!

The residency began with a journey. We met in Bilbao, where we got to know the workshops. After a very strange taxi ride, we missed the bus to Vitoria. Fortunately, there were other buses. In the evening in Vitoria, we had a presentation, and after that, I tried those things for the first time in my life, what are they called, mushroom sticks. The next day, we were already in San Sebastian, enjoying Basque cakes by the sea. We almost missed the bus, but by evening we made it to Angoulême.

IRUDIKA RESIDENCES 2025 | Chapter 09.
We said goodbye to Mexico this week and ventured on a long journey to Bilbao. It's hard to believe we've already arrived at our third phase of the residency. The jet lag wants to slow us down, but the city's energy keeps us moving.
