From the Araba prison, to Getxophoto
Euskaraz irakurri: Arabako espetxetik, Getxophotora
Those that the writer Joseba Sarrionandia referred to in his book “Kartzelako poemak” as “the windowless views of prisons” (espetxe barruko leihorik gabeko begiradak) will be reflected in the seventeenth edition of the international image festival, Getxophoto.
The photographs taken by four prisoners from the Araba prison, in addition to 31 other images, can be seen from June 1 to 25 in shops in the Algorta neighborhood, in Getxo, within the Popular Participation section of the contest.
