welcomeOnce 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 internacional, esta exposición ofrece un retrato de su vida a través de medio centenar de piezas. Gracias a ellas sabremos más sobre su educación, sus influencias literarias y su compromiso político durante la Guerra Civil, así como sobre su amistad con otros 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.

The scholar Adriana Méndez Rodenas and the artist Aurora De Armendi will present their new book, which pays tribute to Rupestrian Sculptures (1981), a body of work created by the artist Ana Mendieta in the national park Escaleras de Jaruco (Havana). The low-relief sculptures, carved on the walls of a cave, evoke the Taíno Indians‘ belief system and is the most intimate and revealing series of her work. This constitutes a live testimony of the Cuban cultural memory. La académica Adriana Méndez Rodenas y la artista Aurora De Armendi rinden homenaje en un libro a las Esculturas rupestres (1981) que Ana Mendieta realizó en el parque nacional Escaleras de Jaruco (La Habana). Los bajorrelieves, tallados en una cueva, evocaban el sistema de creencias de los indígenas taínos y conforman la parte más íntima y reveladora de su obra. Su recuperación constituye un testimonio vivo de la memoria cultural cubana.

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 que aún perdura. José Ángel Mañas hablará de cómo literatura, música, cine, política y 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.

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 eliminar las causas de la discriminación. Para ello, resulta necesario ampliar el marco de actuaciones, ya que los datos muestran que las brechas en el acceso al empleo, el salario y los puestos de responsabilidad se amplían cuando se tienen en cuenta variables como la maternidad.

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 hombres y mujeres.

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.

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.

Has the Cuban economic system remained obsolete in the face of the challenges of free trade and social pluralism? What is preventing the country from deepening the granting of civil and political liberties? Cuban historian Rafael Rojas will address these and other questions such as the results of the 2019 Cuban Referendum through his book The Constitutional Change in Cuba. A Q&A will follow.

¿Se ha quedado el sistema cubano obsoleto frente a los retos del libre comercio y el pluralismo social? ¿Qué es lo que impide al país profundizar en la concesión de libertades civiles y políticas? El historiador Rafael Rojas tratará de responder a estas y otras preguntas a través de su libro El cambio constitucional en Cuba y charlará con el público sobre los resultados del Referéndum Cubano de 2019.

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.

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.

Joan Manuel Serrat.

SPAN ISH MODERN POPULAR MUS IC

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.

Joan Manuel Serrat trae su gira Mediterraneo Da Capo hasta Nueva York. Considerado uno de los cantautores más importantes de la música moderna y popular en español y catalán fue uno de los pioneros de la Nova Canço catalana. El estilo lírico de Serrat bebe y ha reflejado las grandes voces de la poesía como Mario Benedetti, Antonio Machado, Miguel Hernández, Rafael Alberti, Federico García Lorca, Pablo Neruda o León Felipe. Desde el principio cantó junto a autores como Violeta Parra o Víctor Jara. Mediterráneo Ca Capo ha sido considerado tanto por el público como por la crítica como el álbum más importante del compositor. Sus 10 temas resultaron fundamentales para su carrera, entre las que destacan la canción que da nombre al álbum, así como Lucía, Vencidos y Barquito de papel.

A WORLD HER I TAGE ’S F I LM 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.

Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

O N C E U P O N A T I M E I N A L M E R í A

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.

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.

We celebrate 20 years of the Instituto Cervantes Wine Seminar in New York, headed by wine writer and educator Helio San Miguel. Our successful wine program covers all the major areas of this art: grape varieties, winemakers, and wine styles of Spain. In addition, the Instituto Cervantes Wine Program has been a privileged witness of the transformation of the country’s wine landscape, led by a new generation of winemakers who recovered forgotten grape varieties, discovered new regions, and crafted innovative wines, from outstanding values to internationally sought-after cult wines that have garnered the highest accolades from the most influential critics. To commemorate this milestone we offer a celebratory series of nine wine tasting seminars that will provide a comprehensive view of the changes in Spain’s wine landscape in the last twenty years, with an outstanding selection of wine.

J A N . 2 4 T H : a landMarK year at fitteen2004 was an excellent vintage in Rioja and a strong candidate for the best ever in the Duero region. Elsewhere in Spain the quality of 2004 was equally superb, from Galicia to Priorat to Jumilla. In this seminar we will blind taste some of the best 2004s from this heralded vintage. J A N . 3 1 T H : 2009. ten years later2009 emerged as an excellent year in Spain’s major wine areas, from Rioja to Ribera del Duero through Priorat and Toro. After a decade of evolution, it is a good time to taste some of the best 2009 wines from of these top areas. F E B . 7 T H : the ultiMate teMpranillo challenge: rioja vs ribera vs toroRioja reds established the benchmark of Tempranillo for over a century. Then Ribera del Duero burst into the spotlight with majestic, age-worthy, tannic yet silky wines. In the last twenty years, the new Toro wines have stormed into the market with opulent and powerful reds. F E B . 1 4 T H : the best years of our lives: froM 1055-2015At a time in which most bottles are consumed within a few years, if not months, after they hit the shelves, it’s still the greatest wine pleasure to enjoy fine decades-old wines. Those bottles serve as a testimony to the quality and longevity that the best wines can achieve over time. F E B . 2 1 S T : sherry treasures: vos and vorsSherry is Spain’s most original, unique, and imitated wine creation, and the VOS and VORS designations distinguish its oldest and most hallowed wines. This seminar will provide a thorough understanding of the misunderstood Sherry region focusing on the best and oldest VOS and VORS amontillados, palo cortados, olorosos and PXs.

wINE SEMINARS

F E B . 2 8 T H : north by northwestIn the northwestern corner of Spain white wines shine. Since the late 1990s, reds from the rediscovered Mencía grape joined them. Its old vines star winemakers such as Alvaro Palacios and Raúl Pérez, put on the world wine map the remote Bierzo area and the region of Ribeira Sacra. Their top wines have swiftly gone from being almost unknown to producing unique reds. We will try distinctive wines of the northwestern corner of Spain which have achieved cult status. M A R C H 7 T H : in the land of woMenOne of the most overlooked trends of the current wine revolution in Spain is the significant number of women who are owners or winemakers in some of the top wineries. From Rioja to Jerez, through Ribera del Duero and Priorat, some of the very best wines of Spain are crafted by women. In this seminar we will get to know Spain’s top female winemakers and taste their wines.

M A R C H 1 4 T H : focus on priorat2013 has been hailed as the best vintage in Priorat’s history, earning the highest accolades from top critics. In this blind tasting we will compare some of the top priorats with wines from other Mediterranean climates from around the world and other regions in Spain. M A R C H 2 8 T H : focus on the dueroOne of Ribera del Duero’s top winemakers said that 2014 was the best vintage he has ever seen in the area. That’s a lofty statement, but a few 2014 Riberas and Toros tasted recently seem to support this perception. In this final seminar we will sample some 2014s from the areas along the Duero River and compare them with wines from other regions of Spain and abroad.
