Barcelona Kaleidoscope. Visual arts, literature, theatre and cinema in the Catalan capital
British Library Conference Centre
Friday 27 February, 17:00-20:00
Barcelona Kaleidoscope opens a window on to Barcelona as a world city of culture. Three speakers will present views of the city’s rich cultural landscape, its visual and performing arts, cinema and the history that has shaped it.
Maria M. Delgado is Professor of Theatre and Screen Arts at Queen Mary University of London and the principal expert on Catalan cinema and theatre in the UK. Andrew Dempsey is a highly respected art historian and curated the seminal exhibition Homage to Barcelona. Josep-Anton Fernàndez specialises in 20th-century Catalan literature and culture and founded the Centre for Catalan Studies at Queen Mary University. Helena Buffery (Head of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies at University College Cork) will chair the seminar, which will conclude with a round-table discussion. Buffery is an expert on Hispanic theatre and performance, translation studies and Catalan studies.
