Year 2021

- 4 March. 18:30. Presentation of the book Strangeness & Wonder / Harrigarri eta miragarri in the Bastida room of Azkuna Zentroa, in Bilbao. Bingen Zupiria, Minister of Culture of the Basque Government, Elisabeth Pérez, representative of Euskal Irudigileak, and Begoña Lobo, from Media Vaca, participate in the event. In spite of the limited capacity and safety measures, the meeting with various of the authors, who travelled from different Basque and Navarrese municipalities for the occasion, is hugely gratifying.
- 22 March. Telematic conference, or ‘talk with little heads’, aimed at the students of the Postgraduate and the Specialization courses in Illustration for Children’s and Teenagers’ Publications at EINA (University School of Design and Art of Barcelona), groups coordinated by Gabriela Rubio.
- 1 April. Update of the English version of the website, with the translation of all its contents. The revision and translation work is due to Talía Morales Sharp.
- 6 April. Trip to Elda to pick up the photography exhibition of the book ‘The War is Over: Alicante, 1939’, set up in the Archeologic Museum of Elda in March 2020 (see the entry of 6 March 2020) and which was only open to the public for a week due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Beforehand, stop in a mysterious Benidorm with very few open hotels to greet Frederic Martí, author of memoir books about Valencia, which are a must-read. With the photographs now in the car, lunch on the terrace of the Sucre restaurant, in Petrer, with Azkárraga and María. Since not everyone fits in the car, the publishers return by train.
- 15 May. Discussion via videoconference with a group of twenty-five students from the Specialisation Course in Children’s and Young People's Literature at the Xavierian University in Bogotá, Colombia. Esteban Salamanca, Sandra Martínez, Valentina Lozada, Ananda Alviar and María Domínguez are in charge of the technical coordination of the activity and the questions for the publishers of Media Vaca.
