Overview
- Organisers announced at the fair on December 8 that 'Gizaberetxoak. Joxe Azurmendiren joanak eta etorriak' is the 2025 Sormen Beka winner.
- The comic will be created by Ainhoa Olaso, Usue Egia and Mikel Urdangarin, translating Urdangarin’s research into a collage‑style, playful narrative.
- A unanimous jury of Unai Iturriaga, Esti Albizu, Ainara Azpiazu 'Axpi', Adur Larrea and Garazi Arrula praised the project’s scope and humor.
- The work will fictionalize encounters between Joxe Azurmendi and Angela Davis, Simone Weil, Vandana Shiva and Jule Goikoetxea, linking personal and global turning points.
- The 2025 call drew twelve diverse proposals, as the Sormen Beka program continues to back emerging Basque‑language creators with Durango’s annual 15,000‑euro support.
