3:00pm 		  Dr. Elena Lahr-Vivaz (Rutgers U-Newark), "Blogging on (and Beyond) the Palenque in the Translational Cuban Archipelago"  
(Special Event)

Dr. Elena Lahr-Vivaz, author of Writing Islands:Space and Identity in the Transitional Cuban Archipelago (U of FL P, 2022), will present her talk "Blogging on (and Beyond) the Palenque in the Transitional Cuban Archipelago," a nuanced view of the complexity of Cuba seventy years after the Revolution. This lecture (in English) will focus on a blog written by Afro-Cuban poets in the 2000s. Lahr-Vivaz examines how writers connect with other writers and artists within and outside of Cuba, as well as how this venue outside of the official purview becomes a place of political discussion that touches on topics including racial inequality, freedom of expression, and the place of art in a (post-)Revolutionary culture.
