Urumeako Atlas Emozionala:
Discoverwww.atlasurumea.eus
Urumeako Atlas Emozionala proiektu bat baino askoz gehiago da: Donostiako herritar guztiei irekitako gonbidapena da, Urumea ibaiarekin dugun harremana ehundu duten historian, emozioetan eta bizipen partekatuetan murgiltzeko. Biztanleen lankidetza aktiboaren bidez, proiektu honek ibaiaren inguruko memoriak eta sentimenduak jaso eta islatu nahi ditu, hiriaren garapenaren eta bilakaeraren lekuko mutu baina funtsezkoa izan baita.
Cristina Enea Fundazioak bultzatuta eta Donostia Kultura, Tabakalera eta Aranzadi Zientzia Elkartearen babesarekin, Urumeako Atlas Emozionalaren helburua herritarren parte-hartzean oinarritutako lan kultural eta artistikoa sortzea da. Atlas hau ez da datu edo istorioen bilketa soil bat, baizik eta sormen prozesu bat non bizipen pertsonalak gure hiriaren nortasuna ibaiarekin duen harremanaren bidez erretratatzen duen lan baten ardatz nagusi bihurtuko diren.
Erretratu kolektibo hau eraikitzeko, zure parte-hartzea behar dugu. Online inkesta baten eta taldeko elkarrizketen bidez, Urumearekin lotzen zaituzten oroitzapenak, pasadizoak, bizipenak eta sentimenduak bilduko ditugu. Testigantza bakoitza baliotsua eta bakarra da, eta Donostiaren aniztasuna eta aberastasun emozionala islatzen dituen obra bat sortzen lagunduko du. Herritarren parte-hartzea da proiektuaren bihotza, eta hori gabe ezingo genioke atlas emozional horri bizia eman.
Online inkesta zure oroitzapenak eta sentsazioak ibaiaren inguruan erraz partekatzeko diseinatuta dago, eta zure ekarpena funtsezkoa izango da mapa emozional hau eraikitzeko. Zure ahotsa, oroitzapenak eta istorioak entzun nahi ditugu, denboran iraungo duen ondare kultural eta artistikoa elkarrekin sortu ahal izateko.
Esperientzia horiek bildu ahala, atlasa osatuko duten gai nagusiak zehaztuko ditugu. Ondoren, emaitza horiek dibulgaziozko argitalpen batean eta Urumearen izaera eta historia emozionala islatzen duen erakusketa batean islatuko dira. Horrela, proiektu hau esperientzia ukigarri eta ulergarri bihurtuko da komunitate osoarentzat.
Urumeako Atlas Emozionala aukera paregabea da gure ingurune naturalarekin konektatzeko eta ibaiak gure eguneroko bizitzan eta Donostiako historian duen garrantzia gogoratzeko. Elkarrekin, oroimen kolektibo hori berreskuratu eta gorde dezakegu, eta, aldi berean, gure hiriak Urumearekin, iragana, oraina eta etorkizuna lotzen dituen ibaiarekin, duen lotura biziberritzen lagundu.
Ez itxaron gehiago: bete online inkesta eta parte hartu Urumearen oroimenean zeharreko bidaia zirraragarri honen eraikuntzan. Zure istorioa gurearen zati bat da. Lagun iezaguzu emozioen mosaiko hau ehuntzen eta Donostiaren arima eta ibaia islatuko dituen obra bati bizia ematen.
Egitasmo hau Cristina Enea Fundazioak eta Donostiako Udalak sustatzen dute, María José Noain Maura (LOs Viajes de Aspasia) eta Helga Massetani Piemonte (Bitamine) koordinatzaileen laguntzarkin.
ERTZETATIK
DiscoverHabitar el margen
15 years of research, creation and cultural mediation
In 2026, Bitamine will celebrate its fifteenth anniversary. Fifteen years working from Irun and the Bidasoa region as a space of borders, displacement and crossings. Fifteen years fostering processes of artistic research, publishing, cultural mediation and support through an independent practice deeply rooted in the local area.
Ertzetatik is a public event celebrating this journey not as a one-off occasion, but as a sustained practice over time. For Bitamine, inhabiting the margins has not been a circumstantial position, but a method: working at the boundaries of disciplines, on the fringes of institutions, and in the zones of contact between languages, communities and cultural contexts.
The programme brings together training, art installations, archiving, publishing, reflection and performance, offering a meeting place for cultural practitioners, artists, researchers and the public. Through displaced artistic practices, obsolete technologies, editorial narratives and contemporary oral traditions, the event highlights processes as a form of knowledge and dialogue as a collective endeavour.
Rather than looking back, Ertzetatik opens a conversation on how a cultural project is sustained over time: through self-management, resilience, trial and error, and community building.
Fifteen years on, the margin is not a periphery: it is a place of production, structure and the future.A day of discussion, reflection and contemporary practices
