Mia Couto, Pankaj Mishra and Lea Ypi in conversation with Nesrine Malik

South to North Conversations: fiction from the remains of the empires

Centro de Convenciones (Salón Barahona)

To rethink the world, it is also necessary to look at the edges of the map. Mia Couto (Mozambique), Pankaj Mishra (India) and Lea Ypi (Albania), three fascinating minds from the global South, talk to us about different realities —post-colonial India and Mozambique, and post-Communist Albania—, but with a single intuition: the peripheries, the remains of empires, have much to offer in building the world in which we live. They talk to Nesrine Malik about the moral arrogance of the West and the importance of listening to other voices.

Simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish available

All events on Sunday, January 1st 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.
