Sketches of Jorge Eielson
Venue: Teatro Arequepay
A hundred years after the birth of Jorge Eielson (Lima 1924- Milan 2006), five figures from the literary and cultural spheres will talk about this brilliant Peruvian poet and artist, who lived for much of his life in Italy. Martha Canfield, an Italian-Colombian poet and lecturer in Literature, is the Director of Florence University’s Jorge Eielson Studies Centre, where she teaches. Sharon Lerner is the Director of MALI and curated the first retrospective exhibition of Eielson’s work in Peru. The writer, literary critic and essayist Renato Sandoval, the writer Guillermo Niño de Guzmán, and the diplomat Hernando Torres-Fernández have all known the famous author and artist. Together, they will tell personal anecdotes and talk about his extensive body of work, bringing us the creative world of this extraordinary poet and visual artist.
