A TOWN THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY #2
ARTE GARAIKIDEA EREMU PUBLIKOAN
Bitamine Faktorian forma hartutako ekimena da A Town That Makes You Happy, eta esku-hartze, ekintza eta lantegi parte-hartzaileei esker eremu publikoan eragin positiboa sortzea du xede. Jakin dakigunez gizartea eraldatzeko tresna boteretsua dela artea, hiri-paisaia aldatu egin nahi dugu, inguratzen gaituena edertzeko. Adibidez, gris-kolorea besterik ez zegoen tokietan koloretako arrastoa uztea, altxatutako horma zatietan mapak kartografiatzea, edo iragarki oldarkorrez jositako paneletan mezu adeitsuak islatzea. Aipatutako adibideak lan iragankorrak diren arren, pertsonen eta tokien memorian diraute luzaroan. Proiektu honek artea ohiko tokietatik at eramaten du, jendarteak ahaztuta dituen edo haientzat ikusezinak diren tokiak hautatuta, tokiotan nekez antolatzen baitira jarduera edo ekitaldi ikusgarriak.
A Town That Makes You Happy proiektuaren bigarren edizioak muina mantendu egin zuen (eremu publikoan parte hartzea, alegia); formatua, berriz, aldatu. Oraingoan, enpresa handien kanpainetarako erabili ohi diren hainbat publizitate-eremu okupatzean zetzan proiektua, modu iragankorrean haietan esku hartzeko, artelanen ohol izan zitezen. Hausnarketarako gonbidapen diren eta nahasmena/harridura sorrarazten duten lanen bidez, komunikazioaren eta kontsumoaren inguruko kontzientziazioa suspertu nahi zen proiektuarekin.
Abenduaren lehen bi asteetan zehar, lanak eremu publikoan jarri ziren ikusgai, artearekin bateragarriak izan ohi ez diren euskarri eta tokietan. Programazioa osatzeko, emakume artista gonbidatuetako laurekin eta Transbitarekin topaketak antolatu ziren. Azken hori Bitamine Faktoriak sortutako karabana ibiltaria da, zeinak hiriko auzo eta kaleetan barrena Estíbaliz Sádabak egindako ibilbidearen lan audiobisuala erakusten baituen.

Emotional Atlas of Bidasoa - exhibition
2023.02.03 / 2023.06.04
OIASSO MUSEOA
An exhibition at the Oiasso Roman Museum (Irun) curated and art directed by Helga Massetani Piemonte and María José Noain Maura.
"It is not possible to bathe twice in the same river". This famous phrase, perhaps erroneously attributed to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, is perfect for reflecting on the Bidasoa. Its character as a border river, since ancient times, has allowed it to see the most varied historical events, to hear different languages on its banks, to host great celebrations and great tragedies, to become a mute witness to the passing of time. The river Bidasoa is the protagonist of this exhibition and comes to life through the voices of its inhabitants.
In 2019, Bitamine Faktoria (Helga Massetani Piemonte) and Los Viajes de Aspasia (María José Noain Maura) received the Ribera grant from Irun City Council to develop a project that at the time was called "Cartografía Emocional del Bidasoa" (Emotional Cartography of the Bidasoa). Previous work was carried out on the history of artistic cartography which was followed by anthropological research, in which, through surveys and group interviews, the emotional perception that the inhabitants of its banks have of the Bidasoa was collected. In this way, a conceptual and artistic map of the river's memory was drawn up.
The project was continued in 2021, taking on a new dimension that transformed it into "Atlas Emocional del Bidasoa". It was then the Olatuak grant from the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa and the Creation Aid from Irun Town Council that facilitated the transformation of the research into an artist's book: an edition of ten literary and historical notebooks, illustrated by Elena Odriozola. Ten of the themes most highlighted by the citizens during the research phase were chosen and are now transformed into ten modules that make up this exhibition. Each module talks about an aspect, but not only for information purposes, but also as an artistic installation that aims to evoke memories, stir emotions, rescue from oblivion what we were, are and want to be. They can be visited in the order that each person chooses: the important thing is to move between them, like the waters of the river. After all, as the Greek philosopher himself said, everything flows, nothing remains.

INDUSTRIAL MEMORY AND RISK METHODOLOGY - EXHIBITION
Exhibition curated by: Helga Massetani Piemonte
30/03/2023
This exhibition is a slice of the industrial history of the territory. An attempt to highlight the trajectory, the effort, the innovation and creativity of several generations of families that, with a trajectory of more than 50 years, increase the industrial heritage of our context.
Industrial production has an important cultural value. Through the material produced, we are introduced into a story that tells us much more than the manufacture itself. It offers us a deeper reflection of interrelationships between various contexts such as geographical, historical, political and social.
And as the industrial sector has been the driving force of our society since the industrial revolution, they are constantly affecting each other. Wars, crises, different policies shape the trajectory of society, people and their life projects. The industries led by these people have constantly had to face adaptation, transformation and updating in order to reassert themselves.
Risk, necessity and effort are constants that they have had to deal with throughout their careers. The experience of these people, which has been passed down from generation to generation, is the advantage they count on to be the consolidated companies of today, because the key to a good project, a good idea or good management lies in the people.
