Prix Itzal aktiboa Saria ? Les lauréats / Irabazleak

Launched for the first time in 2011, the competition for the Itzal aktiboa Prize - Young Contemporary Art was organized again in 2013, 2015 and 2018. A fifth edition was planned for 2021 but had to be canceled because of the Covid19 pandemic.

Irati Inoriza and Natacha Sansoz present their project

Irati Inoriza (Balmaseda, 1992) and Natacha Sansoz (Carcassonne, 1981), the two artists chosen in the Itzal Aktiboa 2018 prize contest for a six-week residency at the Huarte Contemporary Art Centre, will present their work in progress to the public on Friday 15 February and Saturday 16 February.

Maite Pinto (Logroño, 1993) has been chosen as winner of the Itzal Aktiboa Prize for her project entitled "The Kindness of Strangers". Based on the experience of 4,000 Basque children who were sent to England in May 1937 as refugees from the Spanish Civil War, her series of aquatint etchings gives a moving account of a historical event that is highly relevant in today's world.
