TERTULIAS: in conversation with Pulitzer Prize winner Cristina Rivera Garza

The Tertulias series welcomes Pulitzer Prize winner Cristina Rivera Garza as a special guest, presenting the English translation of her book Autobiografía del algodón or Autobiography of Cotton.

During the event, the conversation will focus on the process of translation, as well as on writing as a space of personal inquiry and search—where memory, language, and identity intersect.

This event will incorporate bilingual readings of the book in both English and Spanish.
