Description

This Literary Meeting of Women Writers constitutes a space for dialogue, reflection and exchange around contemporary literary creation in the Canary Islands, as a commitment to the dissemination of thought, culture and emerging voices of the archipelago.  

Two renowned Canarian writers, Acerina Cruz and Lana Corujo, will discuss in this conversation the territory, and especially the Canarian landscape, insular and fragmented, not only as a space or backdrop for numerous literary works, but as a leading factor in various titles, including their own, in a relaxed and sensitive conversation with the philologist Beatriz Ortiz.  

This meeting will also engage in dialogue with the parallel exhibition "Constellation of Canary Island Writers" at Casa Anchieta, establishing a bridge between different generations of authors and highlighting the continuous expansion of this literary cartography, thanks to the emergence of new talents in the field of Canary Island literature.

This literary event has been organized in collaboration with the Cultural Classroom of Language and Literature of the University of La Laguna.
