“You can’t trust Jon Mikel Euba ‘cos he’s with the CIA,” says the soundtrack of one of the videos in this series, which was shown in 2004 at Casatorre, Santurce and in Espacio Menosuno, Madrid. In time, it was censored by the makers of the film. I never had the chance to see the series, so I’d like to watch it now with others, from a distance. These videos are a humorous look at artists who Unai and Jorge admired while they were at university, more than ten years ago now.

Rosa Parma lives in Bilbao. She draws and screenprints some of her drawings onto t-shirts. She works with self-edition, feminism and punk. Precariousness in her hands. In 2009 she set up Riot Flesh, an independent brand of t-shirts, and has been co-directing T-festa with Laura Fernández Conde since 2011. Both have worked at PUERTA with Jorge Núñez since 2013. Her studio is in Calle Zabalbide opposite PUERTA.
