Minimal autobiography workshop by Beltrán Gambier

Intramuros magazine is a pioneer in Spanish in the writing of the self. About to celebrate its first 30 years of uninterrupted activity and with the largest collection of minimal autobiographies —more than 600 texts written especially for the magazine— by great figures of literature, including three Nobel Prize winners —Herta Müller, Günter Grass and Mo Yan. Intramuros aims to build a network to preserve the heritage of the linguistic community of those who write and feel in Spanish.

Beltrán Gambier, its director, will lead a workshop in which he will guide participants in writing about their lives. In the first part (30 minutes), Gambier will provide some theoretical guidelines and read excerpts from short autobiographies with the aim of motivating participants—who do not need any academic training—to write (in the next 30 minutes) three or four opening paragraphs, which will be read and discussed (in the last 30 minutes) among the participants.
