Passion, intricate rhythms, and awe-inspiring performances are what you might associate today with the word flamenco.
However, to truly understand the essence of this way of living, one must delve into the rich depths of its history, marked by the struggles and influences of minority communities.
Our goal is to meticulously study the multifaceted history of flamenco, from its early stages to the sold-out shows of today, with a focus on the hardships and influences of minority groups.
Expect extensive references, comparative analysis of literature, and an introduction to fundamental flamenco music concepts with practical demonstrations. By the end of this course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of flamenco’s origins, its significance to those who have shaped it, and its continuing impact on culture and history.

Nujeen Mustafa is a disability and refugees rights advocate born in Syria. Due to bombing and shelling of her hometown Aleppo, she first flew to Turkey and a year later, at the age of 16, together with her sister to Germany in her wheelchair. During their flight they crossed the Mediterranean to Greece by boot and crossed many country borders by bus, train and foot, with her sister pushing her wheelchair. She started attending school in Germany, as the infrastructure in Syria and Turkey were not aligned for people with disabilities. Today she still resides in Germany, near Cologne, and is about to finish high school with her A-levels. She speaks Kurdish, Arabic, German as well as English, which she taught herself in Syria watching American soap operas.

Atelier de lecture (FR) – « La végétarienne »
Ricardo Sumalavia, un expert en littérature coréenne est sur visite au Luxembourg. Le CITIM a l’invité de nous parler plus sur son sujet d’expertise.
Han Kang, littérature du corps, douleur et solidarité:
La fiction coréenne écrite par des femmes depuis les années 1990 a construit son imaginaire littéraire à partir de la lutte pour la démocratisation du pays et des droits des femmes. Dans ce cadre, le travail de l’écrivain coréen Han Kang propose, dans une perspective individuelle et collective, d’établir des réflexions sur le corps, la douleur humaine et les relations de solidarité qui peuvent naître de ces réalités en conflit.
Rejoignez nous pour une soirée de lecture, découverte et discussion. Ricardo Sumalavia va nous lire de l’œuvre le plus récent de la lauréate du prix Nobel en littérature: « La végétarienne » de Han Kang. Après il va analyser le texte et on va rentrer en discussion.
Pour des raisons d’organisation veuillez vous inscrire sous: citim@astm.lu ou par téléphone: 400 427 31
L’événement est gratuit!
