Marie-Pier Lafontaine and Rafia Zakaria in conversation with Nelly Luna
South to North Conversations: in first person
–
Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (teatro)
The feminist struggle can be looked at from various angles, and this event features two authors who do so from the intensity of their own experience. Marie-Pier Lafontaine (Canada) resists in the face of family abuse and breaks the silence that surrounds it in Chienne, while Armer la rage takes an angry swing at shame and trauma. The Pakistani lawyer and journalist Rafia Zakaria advocates a dismantling of the hegemony of white, Western, middle-class feminism, complicit in capitalist imperialism. Against White Feminism aims to break a yoke and create a future free of racism. Feminism will be intersectional, or it will not be feminism. In conversation with Nelly Luna.

Talking about this will be Elise Ann Allen, a journalist who specialises in Catholic affairs, and author of the biography León XIV; Pablo Quintanilla, an essayist and philosopher who has recently published Autoconocimiento y libertad; and Paola Ugaz, one of the journalists who uncovered the systematic abuses of the Sodalitium, and who worked on the book Mitad monjes, mitad soldados; they will be in conversation with the El País journalist Camila Osorio.

Carlos Enrique Freyre and Enmanuel Grau in conversation with Paola Donaire
South to North Conversations: violences
–
Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (auditorio)
Violence is an oozing sore in the literature of Carlos Enrique Freyre and Enmanuel Grau, and is a constant feature of their recent work. The Peruvian writer and soldier writes about violence through the link between the conquistadors and their dogs, as well as the nature of power; in Tierra de canes he takes us back to the days of Tomás de Xérez, who became an aperreador—those who used dogs of war to defeat the indigenous people— as part of his service in the conquest of the New World. If El fin del mundo could speak, it would cry out with the pain of the protagonists of its stories: a poet tortured by the police, a young man who flees from repression in Bagua, two former soldiers who evoke the excesses committed… together withPaola Donairethey will talk about the brutality related in their books.

South to North Conversations: inhospitable countries, startling stories

Alianza Francesa de Arequipa
From settings as different as clandestine activities during the Chilean dictatorship or a dystopian Lima in ruins Mambo by Alejandra Moffat (Chile) and Criaturas virales by Dany Salvatierra (Peru) converge on a single idea: situating their work in hostile landscapes through which characters affected by silence and violence travel. From a girl who grows up among murmurs and secrets; to the inhabitants of Villa Diodati, creatures who survive drowning in poverty. In conversation with Jorge Malpartida.
