Experience and Voice: Library of Colombian Women Writers - Symposium & Workshop

From Soledad Acosta de Samper and Albalucía Angel to Hazel Robinson Abrahams and Amalialú Posso Figueroa. During the Symposium & Workshop Experience and Voice: Library of Colombian Women Writers, Carolina Olarte-Bácares, Ambassador of Colombia, donates the Biblioteca de Escritoras Colombianas to the Leiden University Library. The Biblioteca de Escritoras Colombianas (2022) is a series of 18 books by Colombian women writers from a variety of historical periods, selected by a team of researchers and writers led by author Pilar Quintana. This publication gives the writers a platform and emphasizes the versatility of Colombia's literature and history.

The workshop Experiencia y voz: literatura y arte de autoras colombianas enters in dialogue with the place of the voice (sometimes as witness) and personal experience in the narratives of Colombian women authors. Click on the image to view the full event page. Held on 23 May 2024.
