Love is impossible

Caviar, woke, left?
–
Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (teatro)
Caviar and latte liberals, woke, lefties… all pejorative terms linked to a left wing, and all becoming more and more common. But, what is the woke left? Who are the latte drinkers? In Left Is Not Woke, Susan Neiman (United States) argues that the true progressive spirit —universalism, justice, reason— has broken up into identitarian posturing that is resulting in a new woke conservatism. The political commentator Eduardo Dargent (Peru) analyses the Peruvian version of the phenomenon in Caviar. Del pituco de izquierda al multiverso progre; as an insult, a label or a smokescreen, “caviar” is one of the most effective and persistent threads in the national political discourse. A conversation about works that (de)construct the left, with Pablo Quintanilla.

Challenges: who is in charge here?
–
Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (teatro)
Hidden hands pull the strings of the algorithms that make us slaves; a genocide in Gaza that the world watches without blinking; left-wing movements that are lost in tribal conflicts; and the diversity and complexity of the African continent. With the first quarter of our century past, we live in a time of challenges, when it is not always clear who holds the power. Laura G. de Rivera, Susan Neiman and Boima Tuckerwill put these topics, and other challenges, on the table in conversation with Eduardo Dargent.

François Vallaeys is a philosopher and teller of popular stories from the age-old oral tradition. Through humour and tenderness, he will offer an event with stories to guide listeners towards the most profound human wisdom, with tales from all over the world. These are not the kind that are read to send girls and boys to sleep, but rather those that wake adults, that through their simplicity manage to cure the wounds of the soul.
