Ecofeminisms conpos(t) in Euskal Herria

  • Occupied volcano area. Vitoria. 29 June 2023. It's 9:00 and the first participants are coming. The EU members, the organizers and the nearest collaborators are already ordering space. Then we make our space, or we make the spaces, it's easy for us to mimic in it, and we get heated in the heat of the conversation.

If ecology is the "treatise of the house" or the "logic of the space in which it lives" and we extend the house to the trio "earth-territori-etxea", ecofeminism tells us about the relationships (power) that occur in this extensive house and of the place where life and life have in these relationships, so Isabel Dominga Hernández has given us a correct, simple, understandable, feminine and lazy definition.

And how does it materialize and take place in our country, in the Basque Country? Marta Luxán led us to the fight against Itoiz and explained the non-mixed actions against this great project. We have already begun to draw the trajectories of ecofeminisms in the Basque Country and the possible genealogies.

From these first two interventions, the paths and themes are multiplied, although some elements are repetitive. One of the main ones is the centrality of the rural environment for an eco-feminist future, which, far from being a rural area, becomes the center of life. Borders, relations between the north and the south of Euskal Herria (no), what feminism can teach ecology, and environmentalism to feminism, and the borders and power relations between Hegoalde Global and Iparralde Global. What about language? "Euskera needs a national language," says Isabel. Energy, which tells us about all the above: "If I had been as concerned about the depletion of fossil resources as the human and territorial holdings behind the energy market," Estitxu Villamor asks. What about the city? See Vives invites us to carry out an exercise in representing the city we want in the future, to imagine what events would take place today in that city, how we move, with whom we talk when we go down to the street, under the house...

We are aware that we already had the identified components. In any case, ecofeminism is not solidly structured in our country. It feels little about us, and less legitimate to talk about it. But we all have concern and passion for it, and all our words have a lot to do, to bind, to reflect, to compromise, to transform. We've collectively begun to compose a puzzle of different possibilities. And we've already begun to compost the ingredients in the heat of trust and passion.

In the time we dedicate ourselves to valuations and desires, the word "space" stands out in the air. Physical space. Or a while. Or a collective space. A group. A meeting. From the air to the earth, at the end of July we have the opportunity to meet again in the Camp of the Small Revolutions and follow flakes(t). Turn the components around, ventilate, mix and continue to transform them.
