Víctor Condori, Fiorella Quintanilla, Patricia Roberts and Julio Villanueva Chang talk to Omar Zevallos
Being Arequipan in the third decade of the 21st century
–
Teatro Arequepay
For many, being from Arequipa is a true "nationality”. Is being arequipeño an attitude? Can Arequipans be born wherever they want? What are the characteristics of city locals? Is there a divorce between reality and assuming Arequipa identity, and is it a myth? To explore these questions, we invite Julio Villanueva Chang, author of No se nace en vano al pie de un volcán, a series of biographical sketches of five people born in the city of Arequipa, who, from a distance, can help us find some answers, or at least paths that might lead to them. Also featuring Víctor Condori, a historian born in Ilo and now living in Arequipa, co-author of Historia mínima de Arequipa; Fiorella Quintanilla, director of the UCSP Arts Centre; and Patricia Roberts, a prominent Arequipan poet. In conversation with the journalist Omar Zevallos, who will try to decipher “arequipeñismo” from different angles, aiming to find ways that allow us to glimpse better ways of living together in the city.
Cristina Fuentes La Roche and Doris Guillén in conversation with Nicolás Mendioroz
How to pay for culture
–
Colegio de Abogados (auditorio)
Every society has a special link with culture, which is a vehicle for social transformation, a right, a tool for collective self-examination and a means for celebration and enjoyment. It is easy to reach the conclusion that access to culture should be democratic and open to all, but how can this be achieved? One of the great challenges of cultural management is funding. In this conversation, moderated by Nicolás Mendioroz, Territorial Innovation Coordinator of CAF, two experts talk about how culture is to be paid for. With Cristina Fuentes La Roche, International Director of the Hay Festival; and Doris Guillén, founder of the Artescénica cultural association.
