“My most beloved graveyard no longer exists,” explains Mariana Enriquez in his book “Someone walks on your grave”, and he has never even seen it. And yet, he refers to him, in a work that collects visits to different funerals all over the world, because we explained the process of stealing a bone that had disappeared from a museum, and which he also called François. The most beautiful cemetery in the world is apparently in Punta Arenas, Chile. The most beautiful funeral sculpture in the world is located in the cemetery of the Barcelonan district of Poblenou. But the fear has felt it in one time, after visiting a lot of them, in 2019, in San Sebastian. In the incomparable context he explains that he visited three cemeteries, the British cemeteries, the Igeldo cemetery and the Polloe cemetery, and he talks about the Basques, on the one hand, that we are very attractive. OK. On the other hand, they do not do tales of terror with disgrace and injustices, or they do not have the ability to do, as is the case in other latitudes. And he picks up the phrase he placed from the cemetery of Igeldo, in the church of Sara, apparently by commandment of Axular: Everyone is beating the man – and the woman – the last one is cured.
“They will say soon for you / what they say now is for me / il zen”. That's the first thing I saw in the graveyard -- the second was that half of the tombs carry my name; the other half are Sarasola -- when I went to my paternal grandfather's birthplace. But Iñaki Segurola said: it is time to put an end to this felling of our cemeteries, it is time to remove those blinds from the mouth of the deceased, it is time to put some love and gratitude into the voices of the deceased. Segurola proposed “living well”, “laughing a lot”, “beating”, “not being in a hurry”, “a lot of peace for the good”, “not worth it, here we get bored a lot”, etc. on the portals. I will say goodbye as the dead are accustomed to in our cemeteries and at the moment I dismiss myself: until later.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
