Culture makes us who

  • Chronicle of acting in favor of identity. 12 October, in Tabakalera Square of Donostia-San Sebastián.
Irudia: Ainara Lasa.

“In boycott and without pyrotechnics.” This has been done by journalist Amagoia Gurrutxaga. “For solidarity with Catalonia. And with love.” Organize some citizens of the world of culture and take the place. Overnight, a little bit more or less, I've knocked on the door. Many familiar faces have come together, but none of them was announced in the afix that it had opened the day before. Because the important thing is not who, but what. Well, it's October 12.

Two microphones and five posters on the wall, the props, the size of the event. The sweet suns of October have lifted up their backs and are gathered in the parallel shadow of the microphones. The manifesto read by Lorea Agirre clarifies the concern of those who have taken the place: “The question is whether we are people for ourselves. If we allow ourselves to be people, have political bodies, be free.”

Many have sung in favor of #sovereignty, in favor of #attacks, to the cries #gukataluniagara – to begin with Aloña Jauregi and Oneka Garmendia – and many others have dedicated themselves to poetry: Olatz Beobide has brought to the Catalan poet Maria Mercè Marçal; Ainara Lasa a Oier Guillan; Maialen Berasategi a Adrienne Rich; Alberto Barandiaran a Vicent Andrés Estelles; Petra Elser, Idurre Eskisabel, Eider Rodriguez; Techt Paul Estelles.

Without time to lose, the next one appears as you disappear. Of course everyone speaks on their own. Amaia Lasa recalled that when Empire Day is celebrated, the guitars of America celebrate Resistance Day, and it has stood on the side of the indigenous people, and of the Europe of the peoples, who once fought in the Nicaraguan guerrillas. I've read a poem from him, and I say he's sincere in this improvised plaza.

Martxelo Otamendi has surprised us with the song Agafant l’horittó de Txarango, which has become a reference song among young people in the process. And mambo, he's put the plaza to dance. So we've realized that a lot of young people aren't around. Joxe Mari Agirretxe, Txapas and his colleagues have remained in the atmosphere after the launch of Epo ita ye “konjurua” by both. Paul Bilbao has underlined that "a democratic revolution is being made in Catalan", and that the revelation of the previous ones is being provoked with the classic Mursego World Cup, Haize eza de Dut and RIP Police Terrorism.

People feel at ease, perhaps because they've looked for a way not to celebrate the day. There have been others, and one cannot overlook: Inés Osinaga, testimony of journalist Ekhi Atorrasagasti, the fine irony of Joseba Tapia, the work behind Dani Fano, Morau Breaking schemes, according to Dana Sarrionandia, attributed to Amaia Zubiria Rossinyol. And to finish L’Estaca and Els segadors.

I say that you no longer need to take the place, so that it falls soon, if we are going to be.
