INDUSTRIAL MEMORY AND RISK METHODOLOGY - EXHIBITION
Exhibition curated by: Helga Massetani Piemonte
30/03/2023
This exhibition is a slice of the industrial history of the territory. An attempt to highlight the trajectory, the effort, the innovation and creativity of several generations of families that, with a trajectory of more than 50 years, increase the industrial heritage of our context.
Industrial production has an important cultural value. Through the material produced, we are introduced into a story that tells us much more than the manufacture itself. It offers us a deeper reflection of interrelationships between various contexts such as geographical, historical, political and social.
And as the industrial sector has been the driving force of our society since the industrial revolution, they are constantly affecting each other. Wars, crises, different policies shape the trajectory of society, people and their life projects. The industries led by these people have constantly had to face adaptation, transformation and updating in order to reassert themselves.
Risk, necessity and effort are constants that they have had to deal with throughout their careers. The experience of these people, which has been passed down from generation to generation, is the advantage they count on to be the consolidated companies of today, because the key to a good project, a good idea or good management lies in the people.

Research project
Artistic residencies / New approaches
The initiative to review the programmes of aid for creation organised by Bitamine Faktoria over the last 10 years arose shortly after the period of pandemics, confinements and limitations on many of the freedoms we had enjoyed until then.
It is true that the new present had changed as a consequence of the events. The economy had been affected, many families had lost loved ones, the routine and changing restrictions we faced on a daily basis made us feel lost and hopeless. But also, people had changed. Many of us have taken advantage of this hiatus to slow down, reflect, analyse, blame ourselves, accept that sometimes we lose and even take away burdensome duties. To question our objectives and look for answers.
Continuing with the model we had proposed until then in our structure was irresponsible. And the answers would not appear on their own, they had to be sought.
Within this framework, a long task was planned, with concrete phases, articulated with each other and consecutive in time.
A research project was launched in November 2021 to find out the state of the artistic and cultural sector in the Basque Country, and it was carried out throughout 2022.
Many people have been involved in the work process, which has been an invaluable source of knowledge, and it is thanks to all of them that we can now share these results, which I sincerely hope will be useful and fruitful for the sector.
