Ansible Fest, a festival that will accommodate feminist science fiction
- The organizers of the festival have quoted in Bilbao on 21 and 22 September to present their proposals. The festival will feature the participation of feminist, queer and decolonial science fiction.
The space 'La Morada' in Bilbao will host the first edition of Ansible Fest, the feminist science fiction festival of Euskal Herria. Organizers Arrate Hidalgo, Laura Lazcano, Laura Gaelx and Laura Huelin have organized a broad program that extends from round tables to children's activities, all for free. Among the offers in Basque are the workshop “Writing feminist science fiction”, the workshop “Basque women writers in science fiction: special reading” and the children’s workshop “Tell stories”.
The festival has two main objectives: to make visible the feminist contributions to the field of science fiction and to give physical space to the debates that take place on the Internet. Considering that women have worked in this literary field for years, they want to “make visible and celebrate” their contributions. “Because we want to pay tribute to our genealogy and hear new voices,” according to the organizers.
Ursula K. The Ansible Fest festival will pay tribute to Le Guin, a science fiction composer who died this year. The term “Ansible” has been taken from the novel written in 1966 Rocannon’s World, a device that, as they explain, allows the establishment of immediate communications over distances of light years.

Zientzia fikziozkoa zirudien errealitatea izan da gure elkarrizketa. Bilbiko Xake espazioan ezagutu genuen elkar, pandemia-aurreko garaian, gai distopikoak ardatz zituen bertso-saio baten aitzakian. Eta orain pandemia mundial baten testuinguruan pantailatik pantailara hitz egin... [+]
Badirudi hasi garela argia ikusten tunelaren bukaeran. Fasez fase, baina pixkanaka irekitzen ari da, primaderako lilia nola, etxealdia –gurea etxealdia izaten ari baita, ez inondik ere itxialdia, pasa den asteko ARGIAn irakurri ahal izan genuen bezala; eta ez dakit nola... [+]

Mayi Pelot «idazlesa» gaztea da, gure aldean noski, eta atsegin ematen zuen igande arratsalde famatu batez haren arpegia irri zoriontsu batez hornitua ikusteak: bere lehen liburua, euskarazkoa, eskuartean zeukan, olinpiadetan ardietsi urrezko medaila bat bezala.
