We are back.<\/p>\n
We close part I of this exploratory journey and the music of HowdySS<\/strong>\u00a0echoes within us... oh! sadness.<\/p>\n We have generated a lot of material that we have to process little by little, but for the meeting in the Aezkoa Valley we were able to make a small preview of what the first 2, yes the 2, days of the trip were like; the Basque Coast.<\/p>\n What did we see there?<\/p>\n We will leave on Saturday 27 August from Donostia-San Sebastian, as part of the Itsasfest<\/strong>where we presented the project and set up our installation as a means of interacting with people; 3 sticks, an Olivetti Lettera 32 and a bottle filled with messages that went from sea to sea.<\/p>\n There we got into the van and set off on a journey that would bring us a thousand and one anecdotes, interesting people, collectives, experiences... The richness of this journey is beastly! We had already said it, hadn't we? We'll have to wait for part II...<\/p>\n First story, Amarenak<\/strong><\/em>right there in Donostia-San Sebasti\u00e1n. Oihane Pardo<\/strong> spoke to us passionately about his project: rethinking the Kaikus<\/em> (traditional Basque costume) with designs adapted to modern times.<\/p>\n Visit to the Rowing Club Hibaika<\/em><\/strong> and listen to Igor G\u00f3mez<\/strong> telling us how they are developing a prototype piece for rowing, in something as traditional as rowing boats.<\/p>\n From the hand of Mikel Valero<\/strong>we got to know the self-managed space Lakaxite<\/em><\/strong> in Ir\u00fan and the community garden\u00a0Aldatsa Baratza<\/em><\/strong> in Hondarribia.<\/p>\n We follow the route and approach the Baleapop<\/em><\/strong> in Saint Jean de Luz-Donibane Loizune. There we caught up with them at the end of what had been an intense 5-day festival of art and music. We had the opportunity to interview Manu Matthys<\/strong> y Nahia Zubeldia<\/strong>of the duo Lumi<\/strong> y\u00a0<\/em>members of the collective M\u00f6i-M\u00f6i <\/strong>(<\/em>festival organiser), whom we were able to see at their best.<\/p>\n And so ended our first days on the cross-border route, and there are still 10 whole days to go!!!<\/p>\n Here's a little appetizer; first edited video of HowdySS' embrace \ud83d\ude42
