Hay Festival Constellations: poetry
–
Museo de la Ciudad (sala 2)
Hay Festival Constellations creates a space for intergenerational dialogue within the Mexican cultural scene, in fields such as literature, film, music, science and architecture. At this event, Mardonio Carballo and Alejandra Sasil Sánchez Chan will talk to Rafael Volta about the power and value of poetry: or when language is a weapon that can fight for existing and resisting.
Thousands of people have come to poetry thanks to the warmth of Elvira Sastre. With poetry books such as Baluarte and Aquella orilla nuestra —in addition to the novel Las vulnerabilidades— she has made poetry an everyday form of expression for a generation of readers. Here, the Spanish author will speak to Laura García, and offer the audience a poetic reading.
