Liam Aldous

A good news journalist, writer and cultural curator, Australian-born Liam Aldous is currently based in Ibiza, Spain.

Working as Monocle Magazine’s Spain correspondent since 2011, he collaborates with fashion house LOEWE to write books and direct films. During the Pandemic years, Liam creative-directed “defiantly optimistic” content and digital narrative for The Smiley Company. In 2019, he founded ColourFeel, curating inspirational, immersive, perspective-shifting experiences for companies including Nike, Slam Jam, ByRedo, and The Stack World, while collaborating on special projects with a global network of artists and musicians.

In 2023 he launched ColourFeel’s immersive experience festival ‘Another Future’ in Marrakech, Morocco. In 2024, he began publishing chronicles of his work and other musings on Substack under the masthead The ColourFeel Dispatch.

A polymath focused on cultivating connection, reflection, and introspection, Liam believes in the power of collaboration as an antidote to the ambient anxiety currently gripping the world.

Aldous said about Blend: “In our age of virtual fanaticism, coming together IRL to share ideas, engage in true discourse, and do the vibe-checks is more important than ever. I can’t wait to have the conversations, get inspired, look and listen.” Liam’s favourite spots in Barcelona are…

GALLERY:
Fundació Joan Miró (“Most people don’t realise how dynamic the shows at this museum are, plus Sert’s architecture is its own attraction.”)

RESTAURANT:
Paral-lelo (“This isn’t a restaurant, but ice cream is my favourite food and this Italian trio make the best in Barcelona.”)

OUTSIDE SPACE:
Parc de la Ciutadella (“It’s still this most vibrant and conveniently
placed urban oasis in the city.”)
