PROJECTS IN WHICH I PARTICIPATE
ERTZETATIK
Habitar 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.
