SUMMARY:VICTORIA EUGENIA
DESCRIPTION:Instituto Cervantes in London\, in collaboration with National Heritage\, the Gallery of the Royal Collections\, and The Royal Collection Trust\, presents a lecture dedicated to the exhibition on Queen Victoria Eugenie at the Gallery of the Royal Collections in Madrid.\n\nThe event offers an illuminating journey through the life\, legacy\, and public image of one of the most distinctive figures of modern Spanish monarchy. Through the pieces featured in the exhibition—portraits\, personal objects\, clothing\, documents\, photographs\, and artworks related to her life—the presentations will offer the audience a multidimensional view of a queen whose biography was shaped by historical tensions\, social transformations\, and personal challenges.\n\nVictoria Eugenie of Battenberg\, born in Scotland in 1887 and Queen Consort of Spain following her marriage to Alfonso XIII in 1906\, lived through a decisive period in European history: the rapid modernization of cities\, the emergence of new artistic sensibilities\, the rise of the mass media\, and the profound political changes that culminated in the Second Republic and her subsequent exile. The lecture examines how the exhibition brings these contexts together to portray not only the institutional figure\, but also the woman\, wife\, and mother who had to adapt to an often-hostile environment.\n\nThe lecture will also highlight the museographic contribution of the Gallery of the Royal Collections\, emphasizing how the exhibition uses visual and narrative resources to bring closer to visitors a figure who remains largely unknown to the general public. In this sense\, the exhibition becomes not only a historical journey\, but also an invitation to reflect on the role of women in monarchy\, the construction of memory\, and the dialogue between past and present.\n\nThe presentations will be given by:\n\n 	Víctor Cageao – Director at National Heritage\, who will speak about the Royal Collections and National Heritage.\n 	Alessandro Nasini – Senior Curator of Photographs at Royal Collection Trust\, who will discuss the collection of photographs from Queen Victoria Eugenie’s childhood and youth.\n 	Arantxa Domingo and Reyes Utrera\, the exhibition’s curators\, who will speak about the exhibition.\n\nEvents in English and Spanish with an English interpreter.

SUMMARY:EATING ASHES BY BRENDA NAVARRO
DESCRIPTION:Brenda Navarro in conversation with Silvia Quin Rothlisberger\n\n\n\nCervantes Institute of London and Manchester\, in collaboration with the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics at Trinity College\, University of Cambridge\, present the tour introducing the English translation of the book Cenizas en la boca – Eating Ashes by author Brenda Navarro. \nBrenda will take part in talks in Manchester\, Cambridge\, and London\, where she will discuss the writing process of her book\, its themes\, and her career as a writer. \nThe London event will be chaired by journalist Silvia Quin Rothlisberger. \nAfter the talk\, copies of the book will be available for purchase. \nSynopsis of Cenizas en la boca \nDiego jumps from a fifth-floor window\, and since then\, that image keeps drilling into his sister’s mind: six seconds and a body crashing to the ground. She is the one who looks back and tells the story of the two siblings. Their arrival into a world where life was never fair. The years they spent in Mexico with their grandparents while their mother tried to make a living in Spain\, and she\, still a child\, was the one who took care of Diego. The stage in Madrid\, a city they didn’t understand and that didn’t understand them either. The first separation\, when she left for Barcelona to make her way and her brother stayed behind in the place he hated most. And her return\, carrying Diego’s ashes\, to a Mexico very different from the one she remembered. \nThis novel narrates the emotional journey of a young woman who senses the reasons behind her teenage brother’s suicide and experiences her own “Ulysses syndrome\,” where neither departure nor return is truly a destination. A story of separations and abandonments\, of longing and rage\, of loss and initiation into life\, in which Brenda Navarro tackles elusive issues such as inequality\, xenophobia\, and uprooting with enormous courage\, confirming her as one of the most powerful and daring voices in contemporary literature. Intense\, visceral\, and devastating\, Cenizas en la boca is a book that burns and poses the painful question of what life is worth living. \nBRENDA NAVARRO is one of the most critically acclaimed authors writing in Spanish. Her first novel\, Casas vacías (Empty Houses)\, won the Tigre Juan Prize. Cenizas en la boca received the Cálamo and CEGAL awards\, as well as the Madrid Booksellers’ Prize\, and was a finalist for the Mario Vargas Llosa Biennial Novel Prize.

Originally from Mexico City\, she lives in Madrid. \nMEGAN McDOWELL has translated many of today’s most important Latin American writers.
