The director of the San Telmo Museum, Susana Soto, has welcomed the participants of the cycle and congratulated ARGIA for its 100 years of experience. ARGIA colleague Estitxu Eizagirre has said that the team is "very satisfied and grateful for this powerful poster, since all those who will offer the performance are those who have broken legs in communication in Euskera, those who look to the past and the future with the attitude of getting ahead".

All screenings will take place at the San Telmo Museum, at 19:00 hours.

Koldo Izagirre to open the cycle on 21 May

The title and point of view of the children of the 20th century in the discourse of defiance to the world come from an article published half a century ago by Gabriel Aresti: “If we cannot be purely Basque cultural, let us invent a new culture to walk at the forefront of global culture. Let us save what we can and reform that little. With what comes out, we challenge the world. This is how we will be saved” (Sons of the Century. The Light of Heaven, 14.03.1956). This claim against work and tibieza was particularly important in order to implement a cultural dynamic that took on the future. Koldo Izagirre will comment on some of the debates that emerged between the obsolete and the new, with the Zeruko Argia stage as a backdrop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Antton Olariaga and Joseba Larratxe: 100 years, hundreds of images

Joseba Larratxo presented the illustrated talk on 22 May: "Images on the cover, illustrations for articles, humor tapes, posters... For 100 years, the journal ARGIA has made various contributions to the collective imaginary of the Basque Country. Although many cartoonists have participated in this image activity, in this talk we will count on Antton Olariaga and Josevisky. Olariaga will take a look at the most important drawings made for Argia over four decades. The relationships between text and image, humor, Euskera itself as a communication tool, postponement, comics, design... Josevisky shows us the new trends of recent years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joxemari Ostolaza, Josu Landa and Malores Etxeberria: "If it's not free to engage..."

Malores Etxeberria has presented the poetry and songs recital to be held on 24 May: "It's not very clear if it's many hundred years, especially if you love and live poetry. Even if it is ten or twenty, one of the motorcycles is to make the utopia a compass. Here is the cry, between poetry and singing: In vain we have strength, if it is not free to commit.” "From there, surprise" has left listeners with the words "creepy."

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elixabete Garmendia will be in charge of closing the cycle on 28 May

As he explained at a press conference, "the hundred years of Zeruko Argia draw the backbone of journalism in Euskera. Based on this support, I will review the “desire and impotence” of journalistic work in Euskera, highlighting with the red pen the characteristics it has imposed on him to be in this situation: lack of normality, militancy, persecution since the war of 1936… Because journalism in Euskera appears “doomed to heroism”.

The museum shows the old numbers and the video of Celestial Light

The exhibition of the San Telmo Museum shows the first numbers of Zeruko Argia, in the space of the Basque culture of the section Vive en la Sociedad. Also the 100-year documentary by soka-dantza. The possibility of seeing both concerts is open from 15 to 31 May.
