Resonare fibris
Presentation by Raquel G. Ibáñez
Date: Tuesday, 8 September, 2026.  7:30 pm. 

Presentation by Raquel G. Ibañez at the start of her residency in Bulegoa z/b. Her proposal Resonare fibris was selected together with Betty Bésala’s To serve you my way, I’ve got the time, in the 2025 open call for residencies. The jury was made up of Oier Etxeberria (artist, musician and curator), Dora García (artist) and the members of Bulegoa z/b.

RAQUEL G. IBÁÑEZ: RESONARE FIBRIS
Emanuele Coccia states that “To blow is to make the world, to fuse with it and to redesign our form, in a perpetual exercise. During the month of September 2026, I intend to continue a line of research l started more than four years ago, concerning the relation between the wind and forms of human, and more than human, life and their expression through the phenomenon of sound. During this residency, I will continue the process of studying different wind instruments rooted in peasant life, constructed with branches, canes and local woods, as a medium for approaching the fragility of ecosystems, vernacular practices and elementary technologies linked to blowing and listening. In Euskadi this type of flute is called “txulubita” and is usually fashioned from a branch of ash, chestnut or poplar.

The opening activity will consist in the presentation of the material from the different stages of the research, together with the screening of the video essay Juntura del aire [Air Junction] (2026, 28 min.)

Resonare fibris is a Latin phrase that means “exalt at the top of one’s lungs” and corresponds to the note “D” according to the Guidonian system of musical notation.

Raquel G. Ibáñez. My practice is centred on studying the connections between sound, language and visual images,  employing the precepts of  acoustemology and listening – human and more than human – as a methodology. My lines of research deal with ungraspable phenomena and evasive images, studying the relations between the human, the spirit and nature, as well as the tension between ancestry and the future in a present of global multi-crises. To that end, my processes pay special attention to the fragility and interdependence of what we call biological life, and are materialised through experimentation with sound, drawing, performance and expanded publication.
