TRADITIONAL BASQUE OBJECTS DESIGN COMPETITION
The aim of this call is to update the design of a traditional object present in the Basque culture. In this way, we contribute on the one hand, to research and the eventual recovery of traditional customs and on the other hand, to an adaptation, renewal and reinterpretation from the point of view of contemporary design. We would like to establish new relationships with our history and to expand the lines of research and the action fields of design.
The piece to be reviewed in this call is the taloaskea, a wooden bench-table used on farms all over the Basque Country.
This call is opened to any person or legal entity of any age (students, professionals or collectives) in the design field (industrial and product design, architecture, engineering, fine arts, etc.) from any country. Participation in the competition is free.

PROGRAMME FOR THE INTERNATIONALISATION OF CONTEMPORARY BASQUE ART
Bitamine is launching this call within the framework established by its plan for the internationalisation of contemporary Basque art. The aim of this programme is to encourage artistic research and production, contribute to the promotion of creators, and promote the international mobility of artists.
It is open to artistic projects by people living and working in the Basque Country.
WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?
The aid is developed in two phases. Initially, the project will be worked on for several months in the Basque context. Once it has been completed, it will be exported for presentation in the city of Buenos Aires (Argentina), where it will be shown in different spaces that are benchmarks of current contemporary culture.
Together with local institutions, a calendar of activities will be established in which the artists will participate in different venues, museums, cultural spaces and local artists.
