Events

Unha rebeldía que estoura sen ruído is a poetic dialogue organized by the ILLA group, bringing together authors Nuria Vil, Branca Trigo, and Bea Saiáns. Coordinated by Dr. Ánxela Lema, a member of this group, the event aims to reflect on four key themes: gender, sexuality, embodiment, and territory, with the intent to explore how these concepts intersect and are expressed in the authors' literary works.

The event will take place in the Graduation Hall of the Faculty of Philology on Wednesday, October 9, at 12:30 PM, and will conclude with a brief recital in which each poet will read from their own work.
