welcome This summer, Instituto Cervantes offers an ambitious and varied program, full of activities and cultural proposals from Spain and Latin America. Among our exhibitions, we invite you to follow the trail left in New York by one of the most emblematic poetic voices of the 20th century in Spain, León Felipe; we remember group El Paso, which defined and shaped the post-war avant-garde art of such renowned artists as Rafael Canogar, Juana Francés or Pablo Serrano, and we sneak into the dressing room of the renowned conductor Pablo Heras Casado through the photographic gaze of Fernando Sancho. These proposals are joined by round tables such as “The Future of Europe”, in which professors such as Jan Willem Duyvendak and Ignacio Sánchez-Cuenca will discuss alongside diplomat Agustín Santos- Maraver on the rise of populism; series of conferences such as “80 Years of Spanish Exile in the US”, with which we want to recover the memory of the republican diaspora and make its cultural and human contribution to New York City known; and talks such as the one that Canadian journalist Naomi Klein will hold with activist Jamia Wilson on the role of the media in social justice movements. The cinematographic proposals will come from Festivals such as “Panorama Europe Film Festival”, “Galician Film and Food Festival”, “The Americas Film Festival”, “Mamalluca Chilean Film Festival”, together with the staging of Upstairs Neighbors -theatrical debut opera by Catalan film director Cesc Gay- and musical experiences ranging from cantaora Clara Montes to the flamenco-fusion group Ketama. These are all joined by our familiar wine tastings, book clubs and tango workshops, all under the goal of sharing the cultural wealth of the global Hispanic world. Un verano más, el Instituto Cervantes les ofrece una programación ambiciosa y variada, cargada de actividades y propuestas culturales llegadas desde España y Latinoamérica. Entre nuestras exposiciones, les invitamos a seguir el rastro que dejó en Nueva York una de las voces poéticas más emblemáticas del siglo XX español, León Felipe; recordamos al grupo El Paso, que definió y configuró el arte vanguardista de posguerra de la mano de artistas tan reconocidos como Rafael Canogar, Juana Francés o Pablo Serrano, y nos colamos en el camerino del reputado director de orquesta Pablo Heras Casado a través de la mirada fotográfica de Fernando Sancho. A estas propuestas se unen mesas redondas tan necesarias como “The Future of Europe”, en la que profesores como Jan Willem Duyvendak e Ignacio Sánchez-Cuenca reflexionarán junto al diplomático Agustín Santos-Maraver sobre el auge del populismo; ciclos de conferencias como “80 Years of Spanish Exile in the US”, con el que queremos recuperar la memoria de la diáspora republicana; y charlas como la que la periodista canadiense Naomi Klein mantendrá con la activista Jamie Wilson en torno al papel que juegan los medios de comunicación en los movimientos de justicia social. Las propuestas cinematográficas vendrán de la mano de Festivales como “Panorama Europe Film Festival”, “Galician Film and Food Festival”, “The Américas Film Festival”, “Mamalluca Chilean Film Festival”, a los que se une la puesta en escena de Upstairs Neighbours -ópera prima teatral del director de cine catalán Cesc Gay- y experiencias musicales que van desde la cantaora Clara Montes hasta el flamenco-fusión de Ketama. A ello se unen nuestras ya habituales catas de vinos, los clubs de lectura y los talleres de tango, todo con el objetivo de compartir la riqueza cultural del mundo global hispano IGNACIO OLMOS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Pablo Heras Casado:
At Home in the Whole W orld
by fernando sancho
Although frozen in time, a picture can provoke the same feeling as music does. Not for
nothing, both arts share a common interest: time and space. The exhibition Pablo Heras
Casado: at home in the whole world is a series of images that display the work of the
conductor Pablo Heras Casado. In this body of work, photographer Fernando Sancho
combines light with sound to bring the musical language closer to the visual. Fourteen
black and white photographs will be shown helping us observe the universe of one of the
most internationally consolidated Spanish musicians.
Aunque fijada en el tiempo, una fotografía evoca tanto sentimiento como aquel que
viene de la música. No en vano, ambas artes comparten un interés común: el tiempo y el
espacio. La exposición Pablo Heras Casado: at home in the whole world es una serie de
imágenes que dan muestra del trabajo del director de orquesta Pablo Heras Casado. En
ella, Fernando Sancho emparenta la luz con el sonido para acercar el lenguaje musical
al visual a través de catorce fotografías cuya apuesta por el blanco y negro nos ayudará a
observar el ejercicio de abstracción de uno de los músicos españoles más consolidados
internacionalmente.

Spanish transition
to democracy
M o v ies ´ poster telling S tories W ithin T he H istory
Curated by Laura Gómez Vaquero
During the years of the Transition in Spain (1974-1982), cinema played an active role in
the succession of changes taking place in the country. It was uniquely able to capture the
different manifestations of a society confronting an iron-clad past, an unstable present,
and an uncertain future. Numerous films undertook, from novel perspectives, a revision
of the recent past, mainly, of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the dictatorship.
Others, on the other hand, addressed current issues such as, for example, questions
of gender, and of course, the newfound freedom of expression, whose most direct (and
superficial) materialization were the films that, for a short period of time, circulated under
the classification S (soft-core porn).
Durante los años de la Transición española (1974-1982), el cine participó de manera
activa en los cambios que se sucedían en el país. Supo, de manera especial, captar los
diversos estados de una sociedad enfrentada a un férreo pasado, un inestable presente
y un futuro incierto. En este sentido, fueron numerosas las películas que emprendieron,
desde perspectivas novedosas, una revisión del pasado reciente, principalmente de la
Guerra Civil (1936-1939) y de la dictadura; otras, por el contrario, abordaron asuntos de
actualidad como la política, cuestiones de género y, por supuesto, la recién estrenada
libertad de expresión, cuya materialización más directa y superficial fueron las películas
que, durante un breve periodo, circularán clasificadas como «S» (soft-core porn).

WAY TO SANTIAGO
A Contemporary Experience to Pilgrimage
B y M anuel Valc á rcel C abo
Curated by Francisco Singul
Since the Middle Ages, the Road to Santiago has spread like a web throughout Europe.
This phenomenon has fostered and promoted bilateral relationships between European
countries in a fruitful exchange that led to a configuration of a common stock. Under the
Jacobean field: arts, architecture, literature and music share common characteristics.
Declared the first Cultural European Itinerary by the European Council in 1987 and a
World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993, today the Road to Santiago has become a
symbol of European unity, the umbilical cord of the old continent, thanks to which, a new
creativity continues to develop.
Desde la Edad Media, el camino de Santiago se extendió como una red por toda Europa,
favoreciendo e impulsando relaciones en un fructífero intercambio que dio lugar a
la configuración paulatina de un acervo común. El arte, la arquitectura, la literatura
o la música compartieron características comunes en el ámbito Xacobeo. Declarado
Primer Itinerario Cultural Europeo por el Consejo de Europa en 1987 y Patrimonio de
la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 1993, la condición del Camino de Santiago es un
símbolo de la unidad europea, el cordón umbilical del viejo continente por el que se
sigue desarrollando una nueva creatividad.

Curated by Maria Toral
This exhibition includes works by various artists who, according to the history of
traditional art, have been labeled under the canon of the categories of abstract and
figurative art or under the label of groups los Realistas de Madrid and El Paso. Nowadays,
they are all part of the history of Spanish art, in which they shared a particular social and
political context, that of the post-war period and Spain’s isolation from the international
environment. In this exhibition, as rarely seen before, these artists and their works are
shown in dialogue, with proposals dance between the most experimental and avant-
garde and what is considered as traditional art. Despite the apparent distance between
them, there are common points and influences that go beyond technique and concept.
Esta exposición incluye obras de varios artistas que según la historia del arte tradicional,
se han etiquetado bajo el canon de las categorías del arte abstracto y figurativo, o bajo
la etiqueta del grupo de los Realistas de Madrid y el grupo El Paso. Todos ellos forman
parte de la historia del arte español, en la que compartieron un contexto social y político
determinado, el de la posguerra y el aislamiento de España en relación al ambiente
internacional. En esta exposición se muestran, como en pocas ocasiones anteriormente,
a estos artistas y sus obras en diálogo, y con propuestas que ocupan una graduación
entre lo más experimental y vanguardista y el considerado arte tradicional. A pesar de la
aparente distancia entre ellos, se constatan puntos comunes e influencias, que van más
allá de la técnica y el concepto.

COMMEMORATION
León Felipe: Who am i?
A poetic journey
Curated by Alberto Martín Márquez
León Felipe. Who am I? exhibition is a journey across the poet’s life and poetic universe
through almost a hundred objects, including photographs, paintings, drawings, books and
manuscripts. Unclassifiable poet, pharmacist, librarian, actor and translator, Leon Felipe
became, after the Civil War, ambassador and patriarch of the Spanish exile in Mexico.
Leading a nomad lifestyle, he ended up in the city of New York where he went along with
great figures like Fernando de Los Ríos, José Camprubí, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Ángel del
Río, Federico Onís, García Maroto and Federico García Lorca. This selection of pieces and
materials are directly related not only to the figure of León Felipe and its impact in the
literary field, but also to the historical context in which he had to live in.
Commemorative event for the 50th Anniversary of the author’s death and the 80 Years
of Spanish Exile.
La muestra León Felipe. ¿Quién soy yo? es un viaje por el universo vital y poético del
autor a través de alrededor de un centenar de objetos, entre fotografías, pinturas,
dibujos, libros y manuscritos. Poeta inclasificable, farmacéutico, bibliotecario, actor y
traductor, León Felipe se convirtió tras la Guerra Civil en embajador y patriarca del exilio
español en México. En su errancia recaló después en Nueva York, donde coincidió con
grandes figuras como Fernando de los Ríos, José Camprubí, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Ángel
del Río, Federico Onís, García Maroto o Federico García Lorca. Las piezas y materiales
seleccionados ayudan a reconstruir la figura de León Felipe y su impacto en el ámbito
literario, pero también en el contexto histórico que le tocó vivir.

Hispanist Pilar Celma will talk with the Spanish writer Antonio Orejudo about his career
after devoting a lifetime to literature. For that purpose, and based on the texts of his latest
book, Grandes éxitos she will establish a common thread between some of the most
important literary pieces that Orejudo has produced for more than 30 years of career. A
singular production, lacking indulgence, with abundant self-criticism and full of his refined
sense of humor. Antonio Orejudo’s work stands out for a narrative structure with inner
sense which has become one of his personal stamps.
La hispanista Pilar Celma charlará con el escritor español Antonio Orejudo sobre su
trayectoria tras toda una vida dedicada a literatura. Para ello y partiendo de los textos
de su último libro, Grandes éxitos, se establecerá un hilo conductor entre algunas de las
piezas literarias más importantes que Orejudo ha producido a lo largo de más de 30 años
de carrera. Una producción singular, carente de complacencia, con abundante autocrítica
y regada de su refinado y particular sentido del humor. Una obra, la de Antonio Orejudo,

The NY Press Correspondent for La Vanguardia Francesc Peirón’s new book, My name is
New York, is a walk through some of the most picturesque neighborhoods of the Big Apple.
The publication follows the footsteps of E.B. White’s classic Here is New York (2003) as
well as The New York Times journalist Charlie LeDuff’s Work and Other Sins. Life in New
York City and Thereabouts (2004). The characters that inhabit those neighborhoods draw
us an energetic city, full of life that form an incredible mosaic of realities that not only
explain the city, but also show us the most heartfelt part of the human condition.
Me llamo Nueva York es un paseo por algunos de los barrios más pintorescos de la
Gran Manzana. La publicación que nos propone Francesc Peirón, corresponsal de La
Vanguardia, sigue la estela del clásico Here is New York (2003) de E.B. White, y de las
narraciones del periodista de The New York Times Charlie LeDuff en su Work and other
sins. Life in New York City and Thereabouts (2004). Los personajes que la pueblan nos
dibuja una ciudad energética, llena de vida, y juntos conforman un mosaico de realidades
tan increíbles que no solo explican una ciudad, sino que nos permiten llegar hasta lo
más conmovedor de la condición humana.

the age of
disenchantment
an eccentric legacy
Aaron Schulman in conversation
with Stephania Sferra Taladrid
Though little-known outside of Spain, Leopoldo Panero was regarded during the Francisco
Franco years as the country’s poet laureate. Half a century after his death in 1962,
Panero’s legacy lived on through his three tormented, eccentric and equally talented
sons. Out of this one family’s many travails, Aaron Shulman has fashioned The Age of
Disenchantments, in which he juxtaposes the Panero clan’s literary successes to their
biography and to the political history of Spain itself.
Aunque poco conocido fuera de España, Leopoldo Panero fue considerado durante los
años de la dictadura como el poeta del franquismo. Medio siglo después de su muerte
en 1962, el legado de Leopoldo siguió vivo a través de sus tres atormentados, excéntricos
y talentosos hijos. Aaron Shulman rescata las difíciles circunstancias de esta familia en
The Age of Disenchantment, en la que yuxtapone los éxitos literarios del clan Panero a su
biografía y a la historia política de la España en que vivieron.

repentismo and poetry
the v erse ’ s freedom
Introduced by Carlos Aguasaco
Q&A moderated by Pedro Poitevin
His dedications to oral tradition, the agility of his rhyme and his passion for the ten-line
stanza have made the writer, poet, and teacher, Alexis Díaz Pimienta, one of the greatest
improvisers in Hispanic America. The ten-line stanza that arrived in Cuba from Spain found
in the countryside fertile ground for creation and renewal. A genre that has recently spread
among young people as hip hop. A peak that once again manifests the saturation of non-
verbal communication and the need, without realizing it, to meet again with the living
voice, returning to the origins of the lyric genre.
Su dedicación a la tradición oral, la agilidad de su rima y su pasión por la décima han
convertido al escritor, poeta y docente, Alexis Díaz Pimienta, en uno de los mayores
repentistas de Hispanoamérica. La décima que llego a Cuba desde España encontró en
el campo un terreno fértil para la creación y su renovación. Un género que últimamente
se ha extendido entre los jóvenes a ritmo de hip hop. Un apogeo que vuelve a manifestar
la saturación de la comunicación no verbal y la necesidad, sin saberlo, de reencontrarse
con la voz viva, volviendo a los orígenes del género lírico.

With José Francisco Álvarez-Koki,
Nuria Morgado & Alejandro Varderi.
Luna y panorama en los rascacielosgathers the plural voices of Spanish poetry in New
York. We are invited to wander the intimate paths circulated by emotions through the
plural voices of these poets, far from their origin while riding among cultures. From this
uncertain point, they tell us their impressions of a city that awakens astonishment and
contradiction, strangeness and familiarity, seduction and disenchantment, and which
inevitably filters through the skin to be part of the vital dynamic of those who inhabit,
live, guess and sense it. In addition to his own poetic work, in this edition F. Álvarez Kokir
brings us closer to other authors such as Inmaculada Lara Bonilla, Ana Vidal Egea, Juan
Navidad, Saida Santana, Almudena Vidorreta, Marcos de la Fuente, Tina Escaja and
Gonzalo Sobejano.
Luna y panorama en los rascacielos, reúne las voces pluarales de la poesía española

una ciudad que despierta asombro y contradicción, extrañeza y familiaridad, seducción
y desencanto, y que inevitables se filtra por la piel para ser parte de la dinámica vital de
quien la habita, la vive, la adivina y la presiente.

nationalism & populism : a threat to democracy
Jan Willem Duyvendak, Ignacio Sánchez-Cuenca & Agustín Santos-Maraver.
Moderated by Nancy Foner
Particularly since the financial crisis of 2008, the middle class - traditionally considered a
stronghold for democracies - has suffered a clear setback from which it is only recovering
slowly. This is one of the explanations for the rise of populism on both sides of the Atlantic,
next to (perceptions of) immigration. Nationalism, racism and Islamophobia spread in
many Western countries, representing a threat to liberal democracies not seen since the
Second World War. Is this an irreversible process? What are the alternatives to regenerate
the democratic system and to revalidate its political legitimacy in the eyes of those who
feel left behind?
Particularmente desde la crisis financiera de 2008, la clase media tradicionalmente
considerada un baluarte de las democracias, ha sufrido un claro retroceso del que se
está recuperando lentamente. Esta es una de las explicaciones del auge del populismo a
ambos lados del Atlántico junto a (las percepciones de) la inmigración. El nacionalismo,
el racismo y la islamofobia se están extendiendo por muchos países occidentales y
representan una amenaza para las democracias liberales no vista desde la Segunda
Guerra Mundial. ¿Estamos ante un proceso irreversible? ¿Cuáles son las alternativas
para regenerar el sistema democrático y revalidar su legitimidad política a ojos de
quienes se sienten abandonados?

NATIONS, REGIONS AND CITIZENS IN EUROPE
Sovereignty is at the crux of current developments in Europe and at the center of political
debate. Fights for new forms of sovereignty – or the restoration of old ones – are surprising,
even bewildering, to those who imagined that the process of European integration would
render the concept of sovereignty obsolete. Recent developments and the material
challenges that complicate them – globalization, the digital revolution, mobility – call
upon us to reflect on the motives, polities, concepts, and rhetorics of sovereignty more
profoundly and to seek fresh approaches that transcend disciplinary boundaries.
La soberanía está en el centro del desarrollo europeo actual y ocupa gran parte del debate
político. Las luchas por nuevas formas de soberanía o la restauración de las antiguas son
desconcertantes para quienes imaginaron que el proceso de integración europea haría
que este concepto quedara obsoleto. Los desarrollos recientes y los desafíos materiales
que los complican −globalización, revolución digital, movilidad− nos invitan a reflexionar
más profundamente sobre los motivos, políticas, conceptos y retóricas de la soberanía y
a buscar nuevos enfoques que trasciendan sus límites históricos.

historical links between spain & north america
The history of transatlantic relationships has been influenced by times of growth, as well
as periods of conflict: the Crash of 1929 or the bankrupt of the Lehman Brothers in
2009 are two examples. These crises crossed oceans, but their solutions did too. The
International Congress on historical links between Spain and North America will be
focused on discussing the causes, consequences and answers that have taken place at a
transatlantic level in difficult times.
Opening speech “Nueva York en un poeta”, by Luis García Montero. Through Lorca’s
book ‘Poet in New York’, we will continue the discussion about other writers such as José
Moreno Villa, Walt Whitman, John Dos Passos and León Felipe as a reflection on racism,
cross-culturality and the future of the Spanish language.
La historia de las relaciones transatlánticas está marcada por momentos de auge, pero
también de caída: ahí están el Crack del 29 o el derrumbe de Lehman Brothers en 2009.
Estas crisis cruzaron océanos, pero sus soluciones también. De ellas se hablará en este
Congreso Internacional sobre los vínculos históricos entre España y Norteamérica, donde
se debatirá sobre las causas, consecuencias y respuestas que se han producido a nivel
transatlántico en momentos de dificultad.
Conferencia inaugural “Nueva York en un poeta” por Luis García Montero. Partiendo de

history 80 years of
spanish exile in the u . s .
C urated by M arina G arde
2019 commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of the Spanish Civil War and
the flight of almost half a million Spaniards. The Republican exile meant a diaspora
that included people from all social, cultural and economic strata, including a large
number of intellectuals. Recovering the memory of the Republican exile beyond icons,
discovering the stories of its protagonists, drawing their faces, making their cultural and
human contribution known in New York City and linking present and past are some of the
objectives of this program.
En 2019 se cumple el 80 aniversario del final de la Guerra Civil española y de la huida
de casi medio millón de españoles. El exilio republicano supuso una diáspora que
incluyó personas de todos los estratos sociales, culturales y económicos, incluido un gran
número de intelectuales. Recuperar la memoria del exilio republicano más allá de sus
iconos, descubrir las historias de los protagonistas, dibujar sus rostros, dar a conocer su
aporte cultural y humano en la ciudad de Nueva York y enlazar presente y pasado son
algunos de los objetivos de este programa.

wordl Premiere: a performative encounter
antonio campos, Clara Montes & josé luis montón
The structure of Poet in New York is an opposition to civilization that the poet dialectically
confronts to denounce the dehumanization of modern society. Lorca vindicates freedom,
a return to nature against the alienation of the industrial era while at the same time
denounces the oppression suffered by disadvantaged classes, the marginalized, the
oppressed as well as those affected by racial segregation.
In this performance, an open dialog with the audience, Federico García Lorca
characterized by Antonio Campos, will address topics such as love, his childhood, poetry,
songs, flamenco and New York through the soundtrack of his life with the voice of Clara
Montes and the guitar of José Luis Montón.
La estructura de Poeta en Nueva York es una oposición entre civilización, que el poeta
enfrenta de forma dialéctica para denunciar la deshumanización de la sociedad moderna.
Lorca reivindica la libertad, el retorno a la naturaleza frente a la alienación de la era
industrial, al tiempo que denuncia la opresión sufrida por las clases desfavorecidas, los
marginados, los oprimidos, así como la segregación racial.
En este espectáculo, con un diálogo abierto con el público, Federico García Lorca,
interpretado por Antonio Campos, nos hablará del amor, de su infancia, de la poesía, de
las canciones, del flamenco y de Nueva York a través de la banda sonora de su vida con
la voz de Clara Montes y la guitarra de José Luis Montón.

El Pasaje de Begoña, in Torremolinos (Spain) and the Stonewall Inn pub, in the New
York neighborhood of Greenwich Village (USA), are two great references for the LGTBIQ +
collective. Converted into spaces of freedom and tolerance, they served as a refuge for the
members of the collective who came looking for protection in times when repression and
violence were normalized in their surroundings. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary
of the first manifestation of the Pride, these emblematic places will sign a twinning on
June 26 at a ceremony to be held by the Cervantes Institute in New York.

The emergence of Ketama band in the Spanish music scene in the early 80’s changed
the way people approached flamenco. In an era of openness and change in which genres
such as rock or pop took radios and sales lists by storm, Antonio, Juan and Josemi
Carmona were a breath of fresh air in the flamenco tradition, bridging the gap with the
general public. In their new tour “No Estamos Locos”, the flamenco trio presents the re-
release of their masterpiece “De Aki A Ketama” deliberately mastered in the prestigious
studios of Abbey Road.
La irrupción de la banda Ketama en el panorama musical español a principios de los
años 80 cambió la manera de acercarse al flamenco. En una época de apertura y cambio
en la que géneros como el rock o el pop copaban las radios y listas de ventas, Antonio,
Juan y Josemi Carmona resultaron un soplo de aire fresco en la tradición flamenca,
acercándola al gran público. En su nueva gira “No Estamos Locos” presentan la reedición
de su obra maestra “De Aki A Ketama” masterizada ex profeso en los prestigiosos

Cimafunk is a cimarrón*, a free being defying classification, a pilgrim in search of new
musical miscegenation and the reunion of black music. Singer, composer and producer,
Cimafunk for the first time in New York offers a subtle and bold mix of funk with Cuban
music and African rhythms, a life-affirming sound, a UFO in the island’s music scene. His
debut album “Terapia” (Independent Production, 2017) and especially his electric live
shows are inexorably conquering a multitude of audiences from Havana to Paris. He
broke attendance records in iconic venues such as the Fábrica de Arte Cubano, El Sauce,
and La Tropical.
Cimafunk es un cimarrón*, un artista libre que desafía la etiquetas y que ha hecho del
mestizaje musical su propio sello. Cantante, compositor y productor, Cimafunk ofrece

en vivo están conquistando inexorablemente a una multitud de audiencias desde La Ha-
bana hasta París, rompiendo récords de asistencia en lugares tan emblemáticos como la
