On photography

Thursday 7 November 2024, 4pm –  Universidad Continental

Daniel Mordzinski (Argentina), known as the “writer’s photographer”, has created a body of photographic work and an aesthetic closely linked to literature and its mystique: from his first photos of Jorge Luis Borges in 1978, including hundreds of writers who have passed in front of his camera, and with over 15 years of work linked to the Hay Festivals. He will talk about his extraordinary career, which has been built up at the frontier of images and words. In conversation with Jorge Jaime Valdez.

Screening of the documentary Los tsiname. La comunidad de Bolivia donde las personas envejecen más lento

Followed by a talk with Alejandro Millan and Matías Zibell

Thursday 7 November 2024, 8pm –  Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (teatro)

This event involves the screening of a 15-minute documentary, followed by a conversation between Alejandro Millán, producer of the documentary and BBC Mundo journalist, and Matías Zibell. The Tsimane are one of the 36 indigenous nations officially recognised by the plurinational state of Bolivia. Its 16,000 semi-nomadic members live in the Misión Fátima region, a remote corner of the Bolivian Amazon. Experts believe that it is their very isolation that contributes to the unique way in which this ethnicity ages, something that scientists have been studying for decades.
