Carlos Granés and Edmundo Paz Soldán in conversation with Erna von der Walde
Other stories from the Archivo de Indias: viceroyalties and rebellions
Venue: Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (auditorio)
Otras Historias del Archivo de Indiasis a research project and an artistic initiative in which leading writers from the region engage with the documents held at the Archivo General de Indias. This project, organised by the Hay Festival and CAF, aims to introduce the general public to the archive’s vast collection of documents and to offer a critical and diverse perspective on the multitude of stories that record and challenge the colonial memory of the Americas. These texts have been compiled in the anthology Otras historias del Archivo de Indias, published by Anagrama. Carlos Granés(Colombia) and Edmundo Paz Soldán(Bolivia), who have contributed respectively with the texts La pesadilla del virrey Abascal and La enfermedad del canto: utopía y rebelión en los Andes —written together with Liliana Colanzi—, will talk to the anthology’s editor, Erna von der Walde(Colombia). Event introduced by Santiago Rojas, Northern Regional Manager from CAF.
