Last week, the Getxophoto festival opened in the streets of Getxo, which is situated on the coast of the Basque Country and lies very close to the city of Bilbao. Getxophoto is committed to the exploration of formats, materials and non-conventional exhibition spaces. This, together with an interesting artistic programming and the direct involvement of local agents, is one of its main hallmarks. Although the exhibitions are also scheduled in formal show rooms, most of them are interventions in public spaces, because what makes this festival different is, above all, its radical defense of public space as a place for encounter, recreation and reflection.
