We celebrate the start of the Festival alongside our curator, María Ptqk, and some artists who will come to Getxo to give a visual overview of their works. We will have the participation of Michalina Kacperak (Poland), Alejandra Carles-Tolra (Barcelona), Manuela Lorente (Madrid), Arnau Rovira (Barcelona), Raquel Meyers (Murcia), 2girls1comp (Switzerland/Italy), Jean-Marie Donat (France) and Emanuele Binetti (Italy), Spasi Sohrani (Ukraine) and Jason Fulford (United States).
Some say that the Opening is the best time to see the Festival since the curator explains her vision, in detail, about the artistic program. So, we recommend you come. Just remember that you need to register first.
In addition, we will have the performance of Liben Svaart, sound and visual artist, writer, musician and performer.
LIBEN SVAART
Born in Leioa, Bizkaia, in 1994, Liben Svaart holds a degree in Art and a master’s degree in Contemporary, Technological and Performative Art, both from the University of the Basque Country. In 2019 she releases her first album In Red, self-produced under her own label El Ser Extraño Records. She works in the audiovisual and performative field from the sensitivity, from the infra-mild. She finds the balance between the visceral and the calculated both in her animation pieces and in her actions.
