CREW
Bitamine Faktoria is a cross-border cultural production and creation factory aimed at promoting and internationalising culture and contemporary art. We are committed to the territory. Thanks to our cultural projects and support programs of creation, we strengthen the artistic and cultural field of our community. Social space is our field of action. Our fundamental working tools are mediation, participation and co-creation. We think and act from a gender perspective, ensuring sustainability in the use of resources.

THE SPACE
Bitamine Faktoria's home is located in the Ventas neighbourhood of the city of Irun, in a space dedicated to social innovation. We inhabit an open and flexible space that allows creative work, as well as the exchange of knowledge and experiences. It has an office, meeting room, warehouse, shared canteen and a residence for artists.
Networks
Networking and cooperation are strengthening both the projects and also the members involved in it. Together with Nekatoenea we have created the Mugakide cross-border cooperation network and we are part of Trans Europe Halles as well, a European network of cultural initiatives driven by citizens and artist groups that connects more than 100 spaces across the continent and the European Network of Cultural Centres (ENCC), based in Brussels, Belgium, another European network founded to promote dialogue and cooperation, which currently represents more than 5,000 cultural centres in 24 countries, with programmes and activities aimed at empowering their respective communities.
