The Bucha massacre
The city of Bucha, close by Kyiv, will go down in history as one of the symbols of the atrocities perpetrated by the Russian forces in the invasion of Ukraine. The photo essay by Santi Palacios records the sensations and images immediately after the departure of the Russian troops, capturing the horror of everyday life amid a war, and conveying the desolation and harshness of the conflict.

Donostia Kultura presents the exhibition Pakistan: the channels of the Indus. The exhibition features a reflection of the realities observed and documented by journalist and anthropologist Igone Mariezkurrena during her travels to the country. They all focus on the impact caused by climate change on the lives of the people who live in the Indus river basin.

The work of anthropology and photojournalism on display takes as its central theme the channels of the River Indus, to present a social snapshot of the country. The records and photographs documented on the ground make up the main content of the exhibition. Aside from the voice of those affected, we also find contributions by experts (researchers, professors, human rights activists) and proven data helping to contextualise these cases.

Pakistan offers a paradigm in understanding how and how much climate change hampers a country's full development. In fact, with less than 1% of global carbon dioxide emissions, Pakistan is one of the 10 countries most affected by global warming, but lacks the economic, material and structural resources to address the problem.

And so we have set a special theme: the duty towards the community referred to in Article 29.Our rights are in fact not unlimited. We have a responsibility and certain duties allowing us to enjoy our human rights, as reflected in more than 1,300 works by some 2,000 people participating this year.

The awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, 14 April, in the City Council Chamber.

The exhibition Baloreak is a reflection of the book of the same name, written by the San Sebastian-born journalist Nerea Kortabitarte and illustrated by twelve women from Guipuzkoa: Ane Garmendia, Jone Taberna, Julia Lasa, June Martin, Maialen Arocena, Maore Sagarzazu, Nerea Bermejo Bermi, Naiara Goikoetxea, Noelia Sierra NoEz, Patri Taberna, Sara Essery and Zuriñe Uriarte. The foreword to the book is courtesy of the author Noelia Lorenzo Pino.

Baloreak is a poetic journey through the illustrations of twelve women and twelve universal values. It traverses the drama of migrants on the River Bidasoa through the silent revolution of words.
