Goya en Burdeos

A los 82 años, exiliado en Burdeos con Leocadia Zorrilla de Weiss, la última de sus amantes, el pintor Francisco de Goya reconstruye para su hija Rosario los acontecimientos que marcaron su vida. Una vida en la que se suceden convulsiones políticas, pasiones emponzoñadas y el éxtasis de la fama.

Goya in Bordeaux

Francisco Goya (1746-1828), deaf and ill, lives the last years of his life in voluntary exile in Bordeaux, a Liberal protesting the oppressive rule of Ferdinand VII. He’s living with his much younger wife Leocadia and their daughter Rosario. He continues to paint at night, and in flashbacks stirred by conversations with his daughter, by awful headaches, and by the befuddlement of age, he relives key times in his life, particularly his relationship with the Duchess of Alba, his discovery of how he wanted to paint (insight provided by Velázquez’s work), and his lifelong celebration of the imagination. Throughout, his reveries become tableaux of his paintings.

Borderlust Art Exhibition by Mauricio Paz Viola & Justin Earl Grant @ Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston
Sep 25 @ 10:00 pm – Oct 12 @ 2:00 pm

Borderlust 

by Mauricio Paz Viola & Justin Earl Grant

 

“Scientists say that human beings are made of atoms, but a little bird told me that we are also made of stories.”
Eduardo Galeano

 

Mauricio Paz Viola & Justin Earl Grant celebrate their second exhibition together. After their shared experiences in Santiago de Chile 2015, they are reunited once again in the city of Houston.

Borderlust is a reflection on the dynamic experience of how we construct our identity as an emancipatory and paradoxical process.

Paz Viola & Grant’s collection of works present a series of silhouettes of the human figure whose limits are traced and shows the interconnection of the subject with the whole.

Bonderlust aspires to reaffirm the magnitude of possibilities of the expansion of the human being.

Opening //  Saturday September 28 @4:00pm
On view until Sat. Oct. 12th
Mon. – Fri. 10 am – 2 pm

Círculo de lectura / Aura, Carlos Fuentes. @ Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston
Feb 15 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Círculo de lectura activa.

La lectura nos permite ver el mundo de una manera distinta, encontrar ese pedazo en el universo que nos hace falta. Los libros nos muestran que se puede encontrar el amor en un sonido o en una flor.

El círculo está centrado en la lectura y análisis de textos de ficción en español. El ejercicio del círculo literario pretende brindar nociones prácticas que permitan el acercamiento crítico a géneros literarios en español.

El ejercicio de leer nos pertenece a todos, hayamos o no estudiado formalmente.

Continuamos en febrero con nuestra reunión del círculo de lectura activa con el libro “Aura” de Carlos Fuentes, el sábado 15 de febrero, estaremos charlando y compartiendo apreciaciones sobre este libro.

Recuerda llevar tu vaso, tu bebida preferida y algo de comer para compartir con el grupo.
