"Bertsolaris that sing their bertsos via Twitter, Facebook or Internet", that's how 'Basque Stories from the South' defines itself and presents its project. This trans-media proposal hopes to gather testimonies by Basques in the Diaspora and to support their diffusion on various media. Afterwards, these stories will be collected in an exhibit to be displayed next November in Argentina at the National Basque Week in La Plata. The deadline to submit your story is October 15th. We spoke with Paula Almiron-Chamadoira, project promoter, who told us what exactly these trans-media stories are (their website is bilingual, Basque and Spanish, with many mistakes in the Basque version).
