* Focus // “all that grows: nature and writing” by Clara Obligado

Reading and conversation at SAFI FAYE STAGE (HKW)

Spanish with English translation

X Artists’ Books presents "all that grows: nature and writing" by Clara Obligado, translated from Spanish by Fiona Mackintosh. Join us for a reading and conversation with Obligado and Verónica Stedile Luna as they explore writing and publishing from the margins.

According to Stedile Luna, “To write in the margins of a page is to engage with layers of texts, housing them within one’s own. It also speaks to writing on the margins of the literary system at large—publishing from the edges and circulating from there. It is writing between languages and undefined spaces, in different forms of Spanish; it is foreignness as an identity. With Clara Obligado, the form and politics of books address the problems writing embodies: hybrid spaces, smallness, brevity, migration, foreign language, and vital matter.”
