With El rugido de nuestro tiempo, the Colombian essayist Carlos Granés continues his work of understanding and analysing the present that he began in Salvajes de una nueva época. We live at a time of ideological and geopolitical disorder, in which we live surrounded by decolonial debates as well as pan-Hispanic nostalgias; this is a time of incendiary speeches and artists who sacrifice transgression in favour of the latest moral requirements. To understand all this roaring, there is nothing better than turning to Granés, who is also part of the “Otras historias del Archivo de Indias” project run by the Hay Festival and CAF, commemorating the 500th anniversary of the founding of the Spanish city of Santa Marta.
All events on Saturday, January 31st will be free for people with ID from the department of Bolívar. Complimentary tickets can be requested —up to capacity— at the box office of the Hay Festival (Centro de Convenciones) showing your identification on the same day the event is taking place.
