First day at the conference.

The "I International Conference on the Inklings" has begun today at the Faculty of Arts of Vitoria-Gasteiz. We have been delighted with the scholars who have presented their papers on the issue about the Inklings. 

The day has started with the paper by Dr. Nick Groom, from University of Exeter, who has taught us about the relation between the Gothic genre and J. R. R. Tolkien's works. As a second round, Paul Urquijo, graduated in Fine Arts and talented artist, has presented his next project under the title 'El Bosque Negro'. This has lent to the hearers to participate actively and therefore throw questions to Urquijo, who has aimed his audience to work to achieve one's dream.

After the papers, all the guests have been invited to a small meeting with snacks and drinks promoted by the collaborator of the conference, Elkar. 

Here we have some pictures that define this wonderful day:
