ZAPI ZURIA
Waving a white handkerchief can signal a greeting or a goodbye, surrender, ceasefire or “Help!” From far away, an open handkerchief might be confused with an open book or blank canvas. Zapi Zuria is an online publishing initiative by Bulegoa z/b for the edition of contributions.

In June 2020, in the context of the confinement due to COVID-19, Bulegoa z/b presented Zapi Zuria, a digital publishing space dedicated to the publication of interventions in different formats, which have been posted in an irregular but frequent way.

To mark the fifteenth anniversary of Bulegoa z/b, the thirteen contributions published by Zapi Zuria to date are on display in the office space. A selection of videos, audio pieces, texts, drawings and objects, to which are added three new contributions: Cartas del desencanto by Dora García, 6 abesti, 6 eszenografia by Verde Prato and Sahatsa Jauregi and Máquina de conmoción (Y con Black Bach Artsakh) by Begonia Santa Cecilia and Luis Moreno Caballud.

Máquina de conmoción [Commotion Machine] is a book made up of a series of texts and images that emerged in dialogue with the film Black Bach Artsakh, by Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri. It explores the creation of artifacts that make possible encounters between people who have been affected in very different ways by colonial violence and genocide: encounters that intensify the potential housed in their wounds, their childhoods, their languages, their struggles and their forms of life.

Begonia Santa Cecilia, artist (Brooklyn). Her practice sets out from the pictorial tradition and weaves together the observation of nature, everyday experience and activism around the sustainment of life in common.

Luis Moreno Caballud is a writer and cultural historian, linked to self-managed spaces of political experimentation and autonomous learning in New York and the Spanish state.
