Manuel Irujo Visiting Fellowship
One-day Basque event at the University of Liverpool
Location: South Campus Teaching Hub (SCTH), Lecture Theatre 3 (10.30am-1pm), Walbank Room, 12 Abercromby Square (2-5pm)
This one-day event will explore contemporary hybrid and collaborative artistic production in the Basque Country. Does the minor scale still encourage collaboration? Does the new art network, i.e. the Guggenheim Museum and now Tabakalera, the new centre for contemporary culture in Donostia-San Sebastian, generate new working networks? How does new technology re-write tradition? How do creators engage with the archive?
We will bring together filmmakers, writers, art critics and academics. Film screenings and poetry performances will alternate with analysis and discussion of current artistic practices in the Basque realm.
