'Ruminating. Josebe Blanco publishes in the Baratze Bizi section of ARGIA the book 'Ardiek egin dit artzain'
- Josebe Blanco Álvarez receives first person the year of his flock. How do they influence the daily lives of the Basque Galician pastors living in the countryside half an hour from the car? Climate emergency, green painted capitalism, forestry, migration, precariousness, vegan movement, food system... These testimonies loaded with reflections have been reflected on a very special day: usually in prose, sometimes in poetry. In Basque, in some passages also in Galician. It also features the pastor's dictionary and the year-round table.
“In the book I have collected the testimony of our concerns, joys and realities as pastors,” explains Josebe Blanco in the ARGIA interview. In the pages of the book Rumarrean there is a pastor who does not enter the standard imaginary of grazing: woman, Basque, ecologist, vegetarian... Look carefully at the issues that are at the tail from the marginal sites.
Special book
Like the texts of this peculiar day to day are beautiful, it is also a pleasure for the eyes: Eider Uribarrena Reyero has illustrated every month, Dani Blanco has photographed the relationship between sheep and sheep and Maitane Gartziandia has designed a refined colored book.

The objective of ARGIA is to influence from the journalistic sphere, and we closely follow the environment, food sovereignty and the agroecological movement to make known alternatives. On the website of ARGIA Bizi Baratze you will find the contents on these topics. People interested in receiving a weekly collection of content can subscribe to the Bizi Baratzea newsletter free of charge. And if we join the Telegram group of the Vital Garden, we will receive once a day a work proposed by Jakoba Errekondo for this time.
ARGIA disseminates content and journalistic works that help to live with respect for the environment, but to do so, the more we are, the more we are going to work. If you also want to strengthen this project, join us.
