Basque: Send 18th anniversary, Guests, IAK Family Tree Culture
The Ruiz de Vergara Palace in Vitoria is from today IAKthe cultural center Izaskun Arrue Kulturguneaand will open its doors on July 18, “once the differences of recent months between the Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council and Lazarraga Kultur Elkartea have been overcome”, explained the association that was in charge of managing Oihaneder Euskararen Etxea until June 2022.
As detailed in the presentation of the project this morning in the capital of Alava, IAK was created with the intention of being “a comprehensive cultural project from the Basque language and in Basque”, beyond being a cultural facility”. Therefore, its vocation is to work on the entire cultural chain: “creativity, production, staging or exhibition, communication and audiences”.
From the second week of September, the autumn programme will be launched, and you will be able to see and enjoy activities from different disciplines with Basque as the “leading element”: music and live arts, family activities, cinema and audiovisuals, calls and initiatives of all kinds related to education and knowledge.
From the opening on July 18, there will be guided tours, recycled games and music and festive activities coinciding with La Blanca. On July 22, three calls will be launched: Taulara, for short-format plays and monologues; Muina, a pool of proposals for all citizens who want to carry out some cultural activity; and Egin Leku, for new musicians.
“Whether or not they know Basque, IAK will be open to everyone because we want Basque culture to be shared by everyone. So all citizens are invited to the Izaskun Arrue Cultural Centre,” said Lukas Etxeberria Sagastume, member of Lazarraga Kultur Elkartea.
After the summer, the programme will be presented quarterly and will be presented seasonally. The autumn programme will therefore start in the second week of September.
