SUMMARY:Handbook of Foams by Gerardo Diego
DESCRIPTION:Reading and discussion with poet & translator Francisco Aragón and poets Leo Boix\, Marina Sánchez and Soledad Santana \nA valuable contribution to the study of Spain’s Generation of ’27 \nJoin us for an engaging literary event dedicated to Handbook of Foams\, one of the most innovative and evocative works by Spanish poet Gerardo Diego. This special session will feature poet and translator Francisco Aragón\, who is a professor at the University of Notre Dame’s Institute for Latino Studies in the United States. He will joined by British Latinx poets Leo Boix\, Marina Sánchez\, and Soledad Santana\, whose work bridge languages and cultural traditions. \nTogether\, they will offer a constellation of voices through the prism of Gerardo Diego’s image-rich musicality and experimental spirit that define his creationist collection\, Handbook of Foams\, shedding light on its place within the Generation of ’27 and its ongoing relevance today. Through conversation\, close readings\, and poetic reflection\, the speakers will invite audiences to rediscover Diego’s work from both critical and creative perspectives. \nThe event will include readings\, discussion\, and an opportunity for audience questions\, offering a unique encounter between scholarship and poetic practice. This event is made possible\, in part\, by support from the Franco Institute for the Liberal Arts and the Public Good\, College of Arts & Letters and the ND Arts Initiative at the University of Notre Dame. \n*** \n“Francisco Aragón’s translation of Gerardo Diego’s musical and sea-misted Handbook of Foams makes a valuable contribution to the study of Spain’s Generation of ’27 by expanding our understanding of its aesthetics and alliances beyond its most celebrated member\, Federico García Lorca. With his introduction\, Aragón usefully maps Diego’s early poetic engagements to demonstrate the impact of Latin American poets\, namely that of the Chilean Vicente Huidobro\, on Handbook of Foams and\, more generally\, Spanish and European avant-garde poetry.” \n—Rosa Alcalá \n““Lemons and planets\, crickets and trains\, kites and stars\, consumptives and suicides; seaside panorama that “never waxes or wanes\,” but where the “wind awaits the hospital’s opening hour.” Both the structure of avant-garde feeling and the technique of composition that Gerardo Diego brought to his Handbook of Foams transfigure the plastic worldliness of bodies\, things\, and surroundings into a recital of the otherworldly\, into stage lighting and sound effects that encompass at once “a corner of the countryside” and the crime scenes of modern life. Translator-poet Francisco Aragón has finely rendered into English the image principle unique to creacionista causation and Diego’s particular recital of its ebb and flow.”—Roberto Tejada \nEvent in English. \nMore information:Handbook of Foams – FRANCISCO ARAGONBiografía español.

SUMMARY:GOYA NETWORK
DESCRIPTION:The lecture by Paula Fayos will first explore Francisco de Goya’s influence on 19th-century French art and literature\, and the mechanisms that enabled the dissemination and reception of his work. Drawing on Fayos Pérez’s recent book\, the talk examines how French audiences interpreted Goya as an embodiment of exotic\, literary Spain\, as well as a caricaturist\, a politically engaged artist who rebelled against authority. The book also presents the first catalogue of the copies of Eugène Delacroix after Goya’s Caprichos. \nThis research revealed hundreds of individuals—artists\, writers\, collectors and patrons—who acted as intermediaries\, interpreters and promoters of Goya’s work. A direct product of this scholarship\, the Goya Network\, brings these figures to the centre of the analysis. Developed from over a decade of art-historical research\, now combined with tools from Digital Humanities\, the Goya Network is an interactive\, collaborative database that visualises the personal and professional relationships among all these agents linked to Goya—so far focused on Spain and France. From the Madrazo family to Victor Hugo’s cenacle and the Parisian salonnières\, the platform maps the sociability structures that built Goya’s legacy. Continuously expanding\, the Goya Network aims to become a standard research tool for scholars\, curators\, lecturers and students. Event in English and chaired by Manuela B. Mena Marqués. \nPaula Fayos Pérez holds a PhD in Art History from the University of Cambridge (2019)\, funded by a Leslie Wilson Scholarship (Magdalene College)\, supervised by Jean Michel Massing. Her doctoral thesis has recently been published as Goya’s Caprichos in Nineteenth-Century France: Politics of the Grotesque (CEEH\, 2024). She worked as a researcher at Apsley House (London) and has since held various postdoctoral positions funded by NextGenerationEU\, the BBVA Foundation (Leonardo Grant)\, and currently the Gerda Henkel Foundation. During these fellowships\, she has taught at the universities of Strasbourg and Madrid (Complutense) and organised the international seminar Goya: Grotesque/Collecting (2023). Recently\, she has delivered lectures at the Musée Delacroix in Paris and the Museo del Prado (Programa Joven 2025)\, and has published in academic journals such as The Burlington Magazine\, Boletín del Museo del Prado\, and Print Quarterly. \nManuela B. Mena Marqués holds a PhD in Art History from the Complutense University of Madrid\, where she completed her doctoral dissertation on Italian drawing and painting. She has organized and participated in numerous national and international exhibitions\, among which the following stand out: Murillo (1982\, in collaboration with the Royal Academy\, London); Monsters\, Dwarfs\, and Buffoons at the Court of the Habsburgs; Goya and the Spirit of the Enlightenment (1989\, with the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York); Velázquez (1990); Ribera (1992); Goya: Caprice and Invention.

SUMMARY:Lorca and the archive
DESCRIPTION:MEMORY IN MOTION\n\nLorca y el archivo emerges as a powerful tribute marking the 90th anniversary of Federico García Lorca’s assassination\, revisiting his life\, voice\, and enduring legacy through documents\, memory\, and performance. The show interweaves archival materials with poetic interpretation\, bringing Lorca’s spirit into the present while reflecting on themes of repression\, creativity\, and cultural identity. More than a commemoration\, it invites audiences to rediscover the poet’s relevance today\, honoring not only his tragic death in 1936 but also the timeless vitality of his words.\n\n \n\nThis event consists of two lectures: one on la Generación del 27 and the importance of La Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid for Spanish culture\, and the second one on the exhibition Lorca and the Archive: Memory in Motion\, curated by Andrew A. Anderson\, Melissa Dinverno and Christopher Maurer.\n\nLectures by Dr. Melissa Dinverno —Associate Professor of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, Indiana University Bloomington and curator of the exhibition Lorca and The Archive\, on show at La Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid\, and Dr. Stephen Roberts— Professor from the School of Cultures\, Languages and Area Studies\, Department of Spanish\, Portuguese and Latin American Studies – Nottingham University.\n\n \n\n¨”The Residencia de Estudiantes and the Generation of 1927″\n\nLecture by Stephen Roberts\n\nThis talk will provide an overview of an educational institution and a literary movement that have become symbols of the cultural splendour of pre-Civil War Spain.\n\nThe Residencia de Estudiantes\, founded in 1910\, was an experimental educational space where university students lived and studied alongside their lecturers and enjoyed talks by invited speakers such as Miguel de Unamuno and José Ortega y Gasset\, Marie Curie\, Albert Einstein\, Stravinsky\, Keynes and Le Corbusier. It also brought together budding artists such as Luis Buñuel\, Salvador Dalí and Federico García Lorca and was one of the iconic spaces associated with the incubation of what became known as the poetic Generation of 1927.\n\nThis Generation\, whose centenary we are soon to mark\, owes its name to the commemoration in December 1927 of the 300th anniversary of the death of Golden Age poet Luis de Góngora\, whose densely metaphorical verse offered young poets such as Alberti\, Cernuda\, Guillén\, Bergamín\, Altolaguirre\, Alonso and Lorca a means of breaking free from the Romantic and Symbolist idiom of their elders and of their own youthful verse. But the Generation of 1927 was not just about poetry or about this group of male poets. It also involved women poets such as Concha Méndez and Ernestina de Champourcín and a whole host of painters\, musicians\, composers\, dancers\, actors\, directors\, puppeteers\, set designers and philosophers who often worked alongside and collaborated with Lorca and his poet friends. The talk will pay homage to this strikingly creative and vibrant generation of artists.\n\n \n\nStorytelling Archives: García Lorca and ‘Memory in Motion’\n\nLecture by Melissa Dinverno\n\nLorca and the Archive: Memory in Motion is a major museum exhibit that is currently in Madrid (April 24-July 26\, 2026) at the renowned Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid\, Spain\, where Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) once lived and studied. Curated by Lorca scholars Andrew A. Anderson (University of Virginia)\, Melissa Dinverno (Indiana University) and Christopher Maurer (Boston University)\, it tells for the first time the story of the construction of the Lorca Foundation archive since its inception in 1936\, using its own materials to activate and sew together stories of salvage\, discovery\, acquisition\, loss\, and perseverance. Through over 350 pieces\, of which approximately 70% of which are unpublished or rarely seen\, it tells the human stories behind the archive’s making\, revealing the complicated political and cultural contexts that people navigated through war\, exile and transitional democracy. This talk gives us a glimpse into this major exhibit\, the stories behind it\, and some of its signature pieces\, bringing the audience closer to the insights it offers and to the way it impacts our understanding of Lorca.\n\n \n\nLorca and the Archive: Memory in Motion\n\nA writer’s archive is a storehouse of history and possibilities. It is the fertile soil from which verse\, prose\, and a constantly evolving vision of their work spring forth\, as well as the material trace of that work and the life journey of the writer\, his family\, and his friends. The Archive of the Fundación Federico García Lorca is the most complex and diverse of the many dedicated to the poet\, located in Spain and abroad. Although it has been meticulously catalogued\, to date no one has studied its history\, its rich present\, and the gaps left by war\, exile\, and state intervention.\n\nLorca and the Archive: Memory in Motion begins the process of recovering this hitherto unknown history: the evolution of the archive from the poet’s death to the present day. As “memory in motion”\, the exhibition —like the archive itself— highlights the efforts of those who created it and the sociopolitical contexts in which it was produced. It recounts for the first time the various stages it went through: a story of loss and salvation\, discovery and perseverance. Based on new and rigorous research in personal\, family\, and state archives\, it looks both to the past and to new possibilities in the future.\n\n*\n\nStephen Roberts is Professor in Modern Spanish Literature and Intellectual History at the University of Nottingham. He has published on Spanish thought (Unamuno\, Ortega)\, the finisecular novel (Galdós\, Baroja\, Valle-Inclán)\, poetry (Juan Ramón Jiménez\, Lorca\, Neruda)\, Spanish exiles in Great Britain\, and cinema (Bardem\, Erice). He is the author of Deep Song. The Life and Work of Federico García Lorca (Reaktion Press\, 2020). He is currently researching the foreign policy of the Miguel Primo de Rivera Dictatorship (1923-1930) and is leading an international British Academy/Leverhulme project entitled The Limits of Liberalism: Lessons from Spain.\n\nMelissa Dinverno is a professor of Spanish Literature at Indiana University (U.S.A.). She has published Lorca y el archivo: Diálogos con el porvenir (2024) and essays on Spanish literature and film\, García Lorca\, cultural memory and editorial theory. She is editor of the critical reconstruction of García Lorca’s Suites (in preparation)\, curator of Suites and the Voyage of Perception (2020 Centro Federico García Lorca\, Granada) and\, with Andrew A. Anderson and Christopher Maurer\, co-curator of Lorca and the Archive: Memory in Motion (2024-25 Centro Federico García Lorca\, Granada; 2026 Residencia de Estudiantes\, Madrid). She is the recipient of an NEH Fellowship\, was a Fulbright Senior Scholar at the Universidad Complutense and is director of a digital humanities project mapping Lorca-related archives.\n\n \n\nEvent organised in collaboration with La Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid.

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.
