The Borderline Factory has laid the first stone
- The Borderline Fabrika cultural centre has organised the Lehen Harria festival in the vicinity of the Hendaia train station. During weekends, from Friday to Sunday, the organization will symbolically place the first stone of the factory.
The Borderline Factory is a large cultural project under construction, there are several projects developed within it. The factory is located at the train station of Gare, in the village of Hendaia.
The factory managers started the project about two or three years ago. Several working groups are responsible for the dynamics of the plant and the organization of activities in the street.
The initiative has been presented as “a place of work and meeting”. Factory members want to organize it as “a bar, a shared workspace, a creative space.”
They have laid the first stone among various musical expressions. Set by music, street theatre, film screenings, cycling workshops, circus and poetry recitals will take place from 18 to 21 October.
Everyone who is not from Hendaia or not from Hendaia is invited. The festival is held every day in the streets adjacent to the train station. There are also kitchen cutis, which are “works of art” in Bordeaux.
Day by day, participants will present visitors with the txokos and spaces that manage the authors installed in the factory. Among others, Kafe kantina, Coworking gunea, workshop shared between artists. A third of the factory is already busy and this weekend will discuss how they want to define and organize the fourth space, empty or disused spaces.
The members of Borderlin aim to continue building a broad social base in which cultural initiatives and creations fall within the tasks of everyday life.
The factory publishes, among others, fanzine Hazi Gazia. On the occasion of the celebration of the First Stone, the number 8 of the First Stone will be published. In the previous issues, two articles appear:
