In the Equality Days, you also do organizational tasks, in the end.
Laura Pinto and Begoña Ormaetxe, Councillor, have been working on the gender perspective in Galdakao for some time. I have been involved in activities called clownclusions. We've known each other for a long time, and they turned to me to help me find speakers. In the end we have been organizing the days together and for me this opportunity has been like writing a letter to the Olentzero. In this case, in addition to making clownclusions, I have participated as a lecturer. It has been a great honour for me, for dealing with an issue that is not usual, and for the grave crisis that culture is experiencing today. For me it's been a double gift.
We're an example, we have a direct influence on people. In the performing arts of Euskal Herria, there are several women creators who have gone from being actresses in the last 20 years to being scriptwriters or directors and who have reviewed the stories that are told. Why? Because they didn't have a job, because nobody hired them, except for decorations! The violence suffered by women is of all kinds, one of which is symbolic violence. Canonical literature, literature that immerses itself in the main discourse, misogynistic and sexist literature that speaks badly of women, needs a critical look.
How can we destroy the myth that the art made by women is for women and the art of men is for everyone?
As a creator, my creation is for everyone. But unfortunately, at a time when the public is in crisis, men do not go as far to the theater as women do. I see that the public is mainly female, that is, about 70% are women and 30% are men. I think cultural programmers don't make real programming. It is programmed for a white man, heterosexual and with great economic capacity, but that kind of spectator does not go to the theater!
In this kind of leisure, women are the protagonists. I personally live thanks to women's associations, because every time I have something new, they call me, because they like what I do. But what does this mean? There are many professionals in this trade who have never seen me working, because I'm not in the right spaces. I am already used to working in school canteens, but it is clear that the theater is the ideal place, which is not the school dining room. But I don't do it for myself, because what matters to me is people. That's why many programmers don't take me into account, because I work for women, at least they think so. I'm invisible to a lot of people.
