València: – Las Fallas, the great festival of the cap i casal, declared Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, was one of the protagonists at the annual meeting of European ports which held a conference in the Clock Building of the Port of Valencia. Valenciaport took advantage of the framework of the Regatta conference organised by the European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) to promote Las Fallas with the live presentation, followed by streaming throughout Europe, of the making of a Fallas monument
The artist Verónica Palomares, winner of the Artesanía de la Comunitat Valenciana prize, explained the process of creating a Falla and gave a demonstration of the making of a piece. In addition to spreading the word about Las Fallas, the creative work of the Fallas artists was also highlighted. Specifically, Verónica Palomares made a ninot out of papier-mâché and white cork, which allowed those attending the event to get to know the work behind a Fallas monument.
During her speech, the artist explained the Fallas commitment to creating their monuments with ecological and sustainable materials which, supported by technology, allow them to create the large pieces that fill the streets of Valencia with art and colour. A video produced by the Universitat Politècnica de València on the creation and assembly of the Falla L’Antiga de Campanar was also shown.
