Basque writers and artists such as Harkaitz Cano, Ixiar Rozas, Oskar Alegria  and Peio Aguirre will be in Liverpool in March 11th, to take part in a conference meeting about collaborative networks and Basque art and literature. The conference will include an screening of Alegria's documentary "Emak Bakia" (2012) and a reading by author Ixair Rozas. Organized by the Manuel Irujo Chair of the Unversity of Liverpool.

Liverpool, England. The University of Liverpool has organized a one-day Basque event, as part of the Manuel Irujo Fellowship: Hybridity and new networks: contemporary critical interventions.

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.
