The Reading Festival organized by the Malba will celebrate next Saturday a new autumn edition with a virtual and free meeting. The event proposes to think of reading in this context of retraction of social links, their potentiality, their usefulness as a transformative tool, their role of creating bridges of imagination and enhancing the uses of time and space for reading in the house. “This edition will provide an approach to the book’s knowledge by illustrators, narrators, philosophers, booksbooks and historians who will dialogue with the public, proposing new ways of thinking about our library,” says the official website.
The autumnal and virtual edition of this 2021 will start with a live drawing clinic of Liniers in which the cartoonist will take a tour of his influences, readings and relationship with the books; it will continue with a creative writing workshop for girls and boys from 8 to 12 years old by Nicolas Schuff who already has a full space but will be broadcast on Youtube. The day will continue with a recommended activity for over 12 years: a philosophy workshop for young people by the philosopher Lucas Soares who “proposes to give some clues to start reading philosophy. The day will add a video of writer and artist Leticia Obeid titled “Read with Hands”, where she will go through her relationship with books and address a problem. At 19.30, the libreder Cecilia Fanti will make recommendations for titles on demand. There will be international figures such as Francoise Waquet, who will participate at 17 a talk on orality in the world of books; and also The Chilean Diamela Eltit, narrator, essayist, winner this year of the Carlos Fuentes International Prize and author of the recent title published by Ampersand “The Eye in the Crosshairs”, who at 18 will share her training readings from a tour of her library. At 20.30 on Saturday, “History of a Reading” will be screened, an audiovisual piece of the collective Piel de Lava composed of Elisa Carricajo, Valeria Correa, Pilar Gamboa and Laura Paredes.
