Correct measurement

For the first time I approach you with nervousness. When I was asked if I was going to write opinion papers for light, I had to think twice. One: to give your opinion publicly, because today is something that can be expensive. Two: Because I have always had the light of the situation of the Basque scholars, of those who control things and the qualities of culture. So what can I tell? Is this woman considered small? Something new, breaker, that is up to those Basque scholars who are going to read this article.

I'm going to tell you that I, who come from the world of creation, who am an actor, director and I even do playwright works. And this, I tell you with my little mouth, as if I didn't own everything I am and I've done.

The people make me stone. Hard, male, I imagine your corner, my dear scholars. I guess there must be some woman. We've always come to our positions with an intimate friend, almost always a man.

This modesty of defining me is related to what I said at the beginning, to the image of this little woman. I don't want you to think I don't feel strong. Quite the opposite. Sometimes I can almost think for sure, that I have superpowers. Otherwise how can we survive here, among the scholars who own culture, in the world of men? How do I create my own speech when I have to follow their rules and ways of doing it? What can I say, how, of course, if they may have access to what is given to the public? The system is yours, created in its own way. In a world built without female referents, we do.

The people make me stone. Hard, male, I imagine your corner, my dear scholars. I guess there must be some woman. We have always come to our positions with a good friend, almost always a man. We're that small percentage needed, built to keep everything calm, not to complain, parody of what all changes.

The stone village. The stone, the way we see the creativity that the human world has, the way we do. I see my same-sex partners full of wounds. Without knowing the court needed to be able to fit in these measures. Cutting, cutting, cutting your world… until you have the right measurement.

“It’s not going to be easy to be in a position adapted to men, don’t you dare?” That's what I was asked in an interview where we talked about my role as a director. I was proud to have been able to enter the world of men. I hadn't yet realized the wound, what I've had to cut my essence. He has already left, he will no longer be part of me. And it hurts me. Wounds, min.

But ...

I left. I now have a fair measure.

Big in smallness -- small in greatness?

In February 2023, I read the news in the press and I was depressed because it surprised me and gave me what to think. The store of Jostaldi Kirolak Erdikale Street in Azpeitia will be closed to the public after 48 years of running.

That made me travel in time. I'd been there... [+]

Basque Country with three speeds

When we woke up, culturally and administratively, the landscape showed a three-speed disaster.

As far as culture is concerned, I had the opportunity – once again – to confirm this last November 14 at the Mint library in Ortzaize. There we met because Eñaut Etxamendi... [+]

Snow

Snow hides the earth and the traces of beings looking for pleasure. Under the beauty of snow there is time, years, generations, ephemerides, quotations; but when time goes by there are words that have not been said before or after. Snow reminds us that we could slip and fall. As... [+]


Ended with Palestine (and with the world)

The world has also done so, because it is a symbol, because in history more genocides have already been done and will be done (bad luck, hear, it has touched you to be born there), but Palestine has special characteristics:

Büxarik ez, mila esker

They appeared, as usual, through the hut, parked in the center of the passage, in herbs and encharcations so as not to dirty the mills, and went through the road, tracing, to the porch, with a large dish in the hand. As usual, the bûche was ready. In French bûche it can be a... [+]

How much is important?

As the fall ends, the crows appear on Basque Day, in the Basque era or in the Durango Fair. Aware of the results of socio-linguistic surveys on the use of Euskera, the "politically corrective" exercise has no longer drawn anyone's attention. Without Ttattarri, with cool and smiling... [+]


Technology
What does 2025 bring?

I've done a quick analysis of the technology forecasts for 2025. Like every year, when you talk about what technology is going to bring to the media in 2025, the discourse is very similar. Many of us who write about technology have the anxiety of knowing more than it's going to... [+]

The dreams of the long struggle, I really want you.

There are those who, being a brilliant brain, with definitions of "little detail," are experts in transforming and transforming the same thing, in other words. It was yours and it has been a project in eternum that has been repeated for decades. This was one of the main reasons to... [+]
