welcome Once again, Instituto Cervantes offers an ambitious and diverse program, which this year brings Gender Equality and Historical Memory to the main stage. Among our exhibitions we encourage you to learn about one of the great poetic voices from the 20th century in Spain, Miguel Hernandez, as well as contemporary Catalan art brought to us by Colección Bassat in collaboration with La Nau-Gaudí. Travel along the history of the Galician exodus to New York, through the lens of photographer Alberto Martí or enjoy a new take on the comic genre thanks to the illustrations from the female authors of the new graphic novel. Conferences led by renowned writers such as José Ángel Mañas or the Spanish Literature Prize winner Kirmen Uribe, who will link science and literature in a discussion with neuroscientist Rafael Yuste. Historians such as Rafael Rojas or Emilio Cueto will bring us closer to present day Cuba, and specialists like Susana Martinez Vidal, will explain Frida Kahlo’s relevance in current fashion. We will screen films from periods such as “New Galician Cinema”, “Once Upon a Time in Almeria” and “Sephardic Cinema Festival.” We will have the pleasure of hearing Joan Manuel Serrat, who will delight us with a concert. Our wine tastings and book clubs will continue. And for the first time, we are excited to launch our tango workshops. All of these events aim to share the cultural wealth from the Hispanic-American world and to contribute, at the same time, to a more pluralist, tolerant and inclusive society. We look forward to seeing you! Una temporada más, el Instituto Cervantes ofrece una programación ambiciosa y variada que, en esta ocasión, gira en torno a la Igualdad de Género y a la Memoria Histórica. Entre nuestras exposiciones les invitamos a descubrir una de las grandes voces poéticas del siglo XX español, Miguel Hernández, así como el arte catalán contemporáneo de la mano de la Colección Bassat y La Nau-Gaudí, a recorrer la historia del éxodo gallego a Nueva York a través de la lente del fotógrafo Alberto Martí o a conjugar la industria del cómic en femenino plural a partir de las ilustraciones de las autoras de la nueva novela gráfica. A estas muestras se unen conferencias protagonizadas por escritores de la talla de José Ángel Mañas o del Premio Nacional de Literatura Kirmen Uribe, quien unirá ciencia y letras en una charla con el neurocientífico Rafael Yuste; de historiadores como Rafael Rojas o Emilio Cueto que nos acercarán a la Cuba de hoy, o de especialistas como Susana Martínez Vidal, que nos hablará de la vigencia que Frida Kahlo sigue teniendo en el mundo de la moda. Las propuestas cinematográficas vendrán de los ciclos “Nuevo Cine Gallego”, “Once Upon A Time in Almería” o del “Festival de Cine Sefardí” y la música de un concierto que merece mención aparte: el que ofrecerá Joan Manuel Serrat. Además, continuaremos con nuestras catas de vinos y clubs de lectura y, como novedad, lanzamos nuestros primeros talleres dedicados al tango. Y todo ello con el objetivo de compartir la riqueza cultural del mundo global hispano-americano y de contribuir a una sociedad más plural, tolerante e incluyente. ¡Les esperamos!

Spanish writer Miguel Hernández is also known as the poet of the land. Unfairly
undiscovered by the international public, this exhibition offers a portrait of his life through
half a hundred original pieces. This body of work reveals more information about his
education, literary influences and political commitment during the Civil War, as well as
about his friendship with other universal writers such as Pablo Neruda, Juan Ramón
Jiménez, Federico García Lorca and Ramón Sijé.
Miguel Hernández es el poeta del pueblo. Injustamente desconocido por el público

escritores universales como Pablo Neruda, Juan Ramón Jiménez o Federico García Lorca.

This exhibition travels through the Galician exodus to America between 1957 and 1963,
from the harbors of A Coruña and Vigo. Some photographers used to work there capturing
the arrivals and departures of their fellow countrymen, one of them being Alberto Martí. A
selection of his personal archive will be shown in this work of art, whose main characters
are the anonymous faces that play an important role in the collective history of Galicia
in the 20th century.
La exposición recorre el éxodo gallego hacia América entre 1957 y 1963, desde los
puertos de A Coruña y Vigo. Algunos fotógrafos trabajaron allí inmortalizando esas
salidas y regresos. Uno de ellos fue Alberto Martí, quien además recopiló la obra de
otros colegas. En esta muestra se exhibirá una selección de su archivo personal, cuyos/

José Ángel Mañas & Matthew Escobar
In the 90’s Spanish democracy seemed finally settled and the youth grew up taking
advantage from what their elders had accomplished. This period of hedonism and
consumerism, usually identified along with the Movida Madrileña, whose evolution has
led to an institutional crisis that still lingers. Writer, José Ángel Mañas, will talk about how
literature, music, cinema, politics and society converged in order to develop a period of
time quite unknown, but crucial, of Spanish history.
En los 90’s la democracia parecía asentada y la juventud se dedicó a disfrutar de lo que
habían conseguido sus mayores. A este periodo de hedonismo y consumismo solemos
identificarlo con la Movida madrileña, cuya evolución derivó en una crisis institucional

sociedad se mezclaron para darle personalidad a un periodo poco estudiado, pero clave,
de la historia de España.

In recent years, many female illustrators, cartoonists, creators and graphic humorists have
succeeded in the male dominated graphic novel genre by publishing great stories told
from a new point of view that demystified themes that are traditionally linked to women.
On the occasion of the launch of the book Hardcore Maternity we will sink ourselves into
these relevant issues.

Moderated by Julieta de Micheo
Achieving gender equality by 2030 requires taking urgent measures to eliminate the root
causes of the discrimination. For that purpose it is necessary to broaden the framework of
actions, since the data show that the gaps in access to employment, wage and positions
of responsibility are broadened when variables such as maternity are taken into account.
Lograr la igualdad de género de aquí a 2030 requiere adoptar medidas urgentes para

Curated by Federación Española de Mujeres

Since the arrival of new digital technology we can discuss about a Fourth Industrial
Revolution that is broader, deeper, and systemic than the others. The challenges that have
developed from these changes, most of which will fully hatch in the following years, are
colossal and affect the economy altogether. This is why it’s crucial to become aware of the
magnitude and repercussion of this change. According to the report “The Industry Gender
Gap. Women and Work in the Fourth Industrial Revolution” from the World Economic
Forum, when applicable, these changes will affect men and women differently.
Desde la aparición de las nuevas tecnologías digitales podemos hablar de una Cuarta
Revolución Industrial más amplia, profunda y sistémica que las anteriores. Los retos que
derivan de estos cambios, la mayoría de los cuales eclosionarán con todo su potencial
en los próximos años, son enormes y afectan a la economía en su conjunto. Por eso
urge tomar consciencia de la magnitud e implicaciones del cambio. Según el informe
“The Industry Gender gap. Women and Work in the Fourth Industrial Revolution” del
World Economic Forum, estos cambios en el empleo van a afectar de manera desigual a

with Alex Alonso, Alberto Avendaño,
James Fernández, & Xosé M. Núñez Seixas
Since the late 19th century, the phenomenon of Galician emigration in New York has
been consolidated. Its internal composition and ease for social integration, photographic
archives of galician families, its associative expressions, its role during the Civil War as a
support for republican exile, as well as its evolution in the second half of the 20th century,
are some of the topics that will be discussed in this round table.
Desde finales del siglo XIX, el fenómeno de la emigración gallega en Nueva York no
ha hecho más que consolidarse. Su composición interna y facilidad para integrarse
socialmente, su memoria familiar fotográfica, sus expresiones asociativas, su papel
durante la Guerra Civil como soporte para el exilio republicano, así como su evolución
en la segunda mitad del siglo XX son solo algunos de los temas de los que se charlará
en esta mesa redonda.

Alex Alonso (CUNY Brooklyn College),
John Patrick Thompson (Montana State University)
& Dolores Vilavedra (University Of Santiago De Compostela)
When a society doesn’t understand its own historical processes it becomes less
participative and its members are distanced from each other. In a democracy, there is no
single memory but a group of memories that must be considered. Therefore, it is crucial to
listen to each other and to develop a culture of dialog together with a critical judgement
in order to build stronger and more supportive societies. This talk will address the state of
affairs in Galicia, where many associations are working for this matter.
Cuando una sociedad no comprende sus propios procesos históricos, se desune y se
vuelve poco participativa. No hay memoria, sino “memorias”, en una democracia.
Escucharnos y desarrollar una cultura del diálogo y un juicio crítico fortalece y desarrolla
las sociedades. Este encuentro abordará el estado de la cuestión en Galicia, donde
numerosas asociaciones ciudadanas han reflexionado sobre el tema.

questions such as the results of the 2019 Cuban Referendum through his book The

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

Joan Manuel Serrat brings his Mediterraneo Da Capo tour to New York. He’s considered
one of the most important figures of modern popular music in both Spanish and
Catalan languages. Serrat’s lyrical style has been influenced by other poets such as
Mario Benedetti, Antonio Machado, Miguel Hernández, Rafael Alberti, Federico García
Lorca, Pablo Neruda, and León Felipe. He has also recorded songs by Violeta Parra and
Víctor Jara. Serrat was one of the pioneers of what is known in Catalan as Nova Cançó .
Mediterráneo Ca Capo has been considered by both public and critics as the composer’s
most important album. This ten songs were fundamental for his career, among which
stands out the song that gives its name to the album, as well as Lucía, Vencidos and
Barquito de papel.

a world heritage’s film genre
Cine de rumberas, genre that bloomed in Mexico on the 40’s and 50’s, turned Cuban
rumba into an actual melodrama, mixing it with the slums and the cabaret. Also known
for launching the careers of statuesque bombshells Ninón Sevilla, María Antonieta
Pons, Amalia Aguilar and Rosa Carmina, to whom the press so-called as “The Caribbean
Cyclone”, “The Golden Venus”, “The Atomic Bomb” and “The Woman of Fire”. Over time,
these films became cult classics, touring film festivals in France, Brazil and Germany,
while the Cuban rumba was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
El cine de rumberas, género que floreció en México en los 40’s y 50’s, convirtió la rumba
cubana en melodrama, mezclándola con el mundo de los bajos fondos y la cabaretera.
De él surgieron estrellas como Ninón Sevilla, María Antonieta Pons, Amalia Aguilar o Rosa
Carmina. La historia ha hecho de estas películas material de culto, motivo por el que
están siendo exhibidas en festivales internacionales al tiempo que la rumba cubana ha
sido declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO.

with francisco reyero and mark levine
If Eastwood had not accepted a strange offer to shoot a western in Almeria (Spain), his
career would not be the same. There, he found the role that catapulted him; a laconic,
cold, and distant character with a great sense of humor and humanity. This was made
possible thanks to the great chemistry that arose with the then also-unknown Italian
director, Sergio Leone.
Si a Eastwood no se le hubiera presentado la extraña oportunidad de rodar una película
del oeste en Almería, su carrera hubiera sido muy distinta. Allí encontró el personaje que
impulsó su carrera, un tipo frío con golpes de humor y humanidad al que llegó gracias
a su química con el por entonces también desconocido director italiano Sergio Leone.

A merican western made in spain
With Mark PaRAScandola
In the 50s, a remote corner of Spain became the new Hollywood. There the producers
found a scenario of unique natural beauty that faithfully reproduced the landscapes
of the American West; great productions were shot including Hollywood stars like Clint
Eastwood, Brigitte Bardot, Richard Burton and Peter O’Toole. In this presentation about
the photobook Once Upon a Time in Almería, our guest will join us in this journey through
the southeast of Spain.
En la década de los 1950’s, un rincón remoto de España se convirtió en el nuevo

entre otros. Con motivo de la presentación del fotolibro Once Upon a Time in Almería,
