Literary Encounters. Literature from Spanish and Latin American Nobel Prize winners @ Online Event

Oct 13 @ 5:00 pm – 5:30 pm

Did you know that there have been eleven Nobel Literature prizes awarded to authors from Spain and Latin America since the 1900s? And, that most of these authors are widely available in English translation? This webinar will explore the work of these authors, including possible approaches to reading and understanding the works in translation or in Spanish, and the author’s connections with the United States.

Dr. María E. Pérez is a retired professor from the Department of Hispanic Studies of the University of Houston. Since her retirement, she has been active in Hispanic organizations in Houston, including the Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston, where she currently serves as a Board Member.

Nela Garzon Art Exhibition @ Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston

Made in China

Through three different artistic disciplines, such as fiber art, sculpture and painting, Nela Garzón questions the mercantile and disposable paradigm of objects in conflict with cultural identities.

“The body of work produced for this project inquires about the wide effects of consumerism and mass production and comments on the loss of cultural identity in the hands of globalization and industrialization. This global problem supported by us (consumers), besides devastating the environment, affects everyone but mostly minorities who have been maintaining the cultural heritage and diversity of the world alive.”
