'Decolonialism. Conference 'Looks' in Bilbao on 'Our Heroes'
- On Thursday 13, at 7 p.m., the journalist of ARGIA Axier López and member of the network of migrated and racist women from the Basque Country Luciana Alfaro, at the headquarters of Alternatiba in Bilbao, will offer a conference on the book "Our Heroes".
A story of Elkano and the colonialists of the Basque Country
ARGIA published in September Qatar heroiak. A story of Elcano and the colonialists of Euskal Herria, written by López on the occasion of the fifth centenary of the Elcano world tour. He has analyzed the presence of characters related to colonialism and slavery in the streets of Euskal Herria, considering that the international debate on these symbols is also necessary in Euskal Herria. It says on the back cover: “This is not the desolation of ourselves. We weren't there. So we don't care. But when we celebrate here and now what has happened in the past, when we justify it, when we keep the protagonists in privileged places, then yes, the responsibility is ours. Because we are here.”
In the coming weeks López and Alfaro will offer more talks in Donostia (3 November at the headquarters of Alternatiba) and Bilbao (10 November at the Zirika library).
