Romo Kultur Etxea is hosting 'Desterradas', an exhibition by photographer Unai Aranzadi, showcasing the reality of those who lost their homeland, until the 27th.

Romo Kultur Etxea is hosting 'Desterradas', an exhibition by photographer, journalist, filmmaker, and founder of Independent Docs, Unai Aranzadi, until the 27th of this month. As part of the solidarity initiative Getxotik Mundura Mundutik Getxora, organized by the Getxo City Council, this exhibition, funded by the Government of Asturias, arrives in the municipality after its run at the Museo Barjola in Gijón and will subsequently tour various locations across the country.
Carmen Díaz, the Councilor for Social Cohesion, emphasizes that "it is an exhibition with high social value and recognition for those who lost their land. The exhibition connects Getxo with global realities that often remain invisible. Ultimately, it puts a face to exile, denounces its causes, and helps ensure that people expelled from their territories are not reduced to mere statistics or forgotten."
'Desterradas' is the result of Aranzadi's ten years of work, traveling through ten countries (Africa, Europe, Asia, and America) with a portable studio to portray those who lost their land or never had one, due to various reasons such as violence against women, climate change, wars, ethnic cleansing, sexual orientation, indigenous peoples... "because naming is the first way not to forget".
On the upcoming 25th, the author himself will lead a guided tour of the exhibition, which features around 50 portraits (at 19:00). Generally, the viewing hours for this project are from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM, Monday to Friday, and from 9:30 AM to 8:30 PM on weekends.
Unai Aranzadi is a war reporter. In 2001, he founded his documentary production company, based in Stockholm (Sweden). Since then, he has covered conflicts in Israel, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Uganda, Nepal, and the Congo, among many others. He has also worked on social and political conflicts in numerous countries, including Bolivia, India, Nicaragua, Mexico, and South Africa. His reports are broadcast on television channels worldwide, such as BBC, Al Jazeera, RTVE, Canal+...
