Latin American, Latino, and Iberian Studies

The University of Richmond’s 2022-2023 Tucker Boatwright Festival of Literature and the Arts will be hosted by the Department of Latin American, Latino & Iberian Studies. This year’s events will celebrate the degree to which Latines and Hispanics have enjoyed an unwavering presence throughout the history of the United States, leaving a lasting imprint on our cultural fabric. Festival activities will thus revolve around the theme “Our America,” with the idea of generating new ways of understanding what constitutes the Americas and of reappropriating discourses of “Americanness,” a notion that historically has alienated the Latinx and Hispanic populations. The festival will offer poetry readings, lectures, panel discussions, and residencies by artists and scholars whose works implicitly or explicitly address the Latino past of the United States, along with its present and future.

El Departamento de Estudios Latinoamericanos, Latinos e Ibéricos tiene el honor de organizar la edición 2022-2023 del Festival de Literatura y Artes Tucker Boatwright de la Universidad de Richmond. Los eventos de este año celebrarán la continuidad del legado cultural hispánico y latinx a lo largo de la historia de los Estados Unidos, um legado que ha dejado una marca indeleble en el tejido cultural de este país. Las actividades del festival girarán en torno al tema “Nuestra América” con la idea de generar nuevas formas de entender la identidad americana de este país y, al mismo tiempo, de confrontar los discursos de “americanidad” que han insistido en excluir a la población latina/hispana de su historia. El festival ofrecerá lecturas de poesía, conferencias, paneles de discusión y residencias de artistas y académicos cuyas obras abordan implícita o explícitamente el pasado latino de los Estados Unidos, junto con su presente y futuro.
