On March 5, 2026, at 7:00 pm, IED Kunsthal Bilbao will host a new session of IED MUSES Talks in its Ágora, featuring Albert Folch as the main guest and fourth speaker of the new season of the IED’s inspirational talk series.

Albert Folch is a creative director and visual designer with more than 20 years of experience in communication and brand building. He founded Folch Studio in 2009 and is also co-founder of Apartamento Magazine, a leading editorial reference for Generation X and Millennials. Throughout his career, he has developed a creative ecosystem encompassing branding, audiovisual production, typography, 3D and editorial projects, as well as cultural initiatives such as Gallery Sessions, a music platform with strong impact among Generation Z. After closing this entrepreneurial chapter, he began a new phase in 2025 as an independent creative director.

The session will open with Isabel Fernández, a Bilbao-based sound designer and producer with a solid international career. Her work ranges from albums released in Europe, the United States and Japan to composing soundtracks for PlayStation, Nintendo, documentaries and campaigns for brands such as Loewe, Kenzo and Sanrio. Her practice combines sound creation, culture and critical thinking, and she is part of the Antimateria collective, through which she promotes cultural and scientific outreach projects.

Free admission with prior registration here.

The talk will be held in Spanish and will conclude with an open discussion with the audience, followed by an informal gathering at the Aula Bar.
