EUSKARAREN NAZIOARTEKO EGUNA
Bitamine Faktoria se encargó de la programación específica y el diseño del espacio con motivo del Día Internacional del Euskera. En pleno invierno creamos un lugar cálido y natural para recibir a las personas, un hogar acogedor en el que imaginar un futuro compartido para el euskera. Al calor de un chocolate caliente y castañas asadas, la plaza Urdanibia se llenó de experiencias vividas en el primer Euskaraldia y de deseos para la próxima edición. La jornada incluyó un taller de estampación, una zona de juegos de mesa infantiles y palabras-regalo para llevar. Al anochecer, las compañías Hika Teatroa y Oinkari Dantza Taldea bailaron e interpretaron “Sagartu” para culminar con la lectura de la declaración oficial, escrita por Kike Amonarriz. El evento, organizado por el Área de Euskera del Ayuntamiento de Irun, contó con la participación de Tessa Andonegi como presentadora.

KONTENPORANEA #5
Kontenporanea is a contemporary culture meeting promoted by Irun City Council and organised by young professionals from the fields of art, culture and design. Under a collective and collaborative format, each one forms part of a gear with the aim of giving visibility to the artistic projects that exist in our territory and sharing an experience with local, national and international creatives.
The general theme around which this edition revolves is the contrast between the exterior and the interior, which has arisen as a result of the situation of recent years.
We feel that a limitation has been defined between the home and the public space, generating consequences in several areas: relational, emotional, psychological, economic, etc.
We want this edition of Kontenporanea to create a space where we can share the perspectives of what we have experienced in order to understand and work on this dichotomy.

ITSASARGI & KIMA /- INSTALLATIONS
Bitamine Faktoria designs and directs a specific artistic project for the Christmas market. A team effort and in collaboration with a score of artists to attract attention and focus on the local creative community in a turbulent and complicated year for the sector. The market is an activity promoted by the City and Economy Impulse Area of the Irun City Council.
ITSASARGI ✨
Itsasargi catches our attention and invites us to look from another perspective, to be more aware of what surrounds us. This visual metaphor enlightens us and makes us imagine the good that is to come.
Occupy space, the void that fills the air in its immensity. The accumulation of forms illuminates the dimension of what surrounds us. *
A visual metaphor that invites us to stop and observe around us what we are not aware of. *
Moments that pass so slowly that they push us to contemplate. *
Keeping hands of the lighthouse: Judas Arrieta, Iñaki Oyarzabal and Bitamine Faktoria
Lighting: Jose Zapiain

KIMA 🌿
Art has sprung up in the Ensanche square, within the Christmas Market. Thanks to the contribution of all the participating artists and creators, artistic creation has been visualized in an attractive and metaphorical way.
Native sprouts:
AG Calligraphy - Ainhoa Gordo, Ane Borreguero Oliden, asiertxosololaama !!!, Cristina Juaniz, Goizeko Izarra, Hache - Sarah Grandes, Haritzetan Atelier, Iciar Sánchez Parra, Iratxe Aires, Iratxe Colado, Itsaso Labari, Itziar Basterretxea Seijo, Javier Paule, Julia Lasa, Juncal Alfonso Aguilar, Loidi Miriam, Lorena Martínez Oronoz, Maialen Arocena, Mr Woodman, Patri Taberna Solbes, Patricia Gómez Rojo Inwoko, Restta estudio - Raquel Garcia, Von Jauregi, Xabi Amunarriz Rodriguez
We often think that art and culture are constantly springing up, we believe that they are an endless spring. But like our trees, we must take care of the culture and the artists, so that they continue to grow. *
This year the tips of the branches look different in the trees in the square. Their art flows, and they protect us like a lush forest on a rainy day. *
