THE GLOBAL LATINIDADES PROJECT AND THE VOCES NUEVAS INITIATIVE - COMMUNITY CENTERED WRITING WORKSHOP

Join us for a community centered mini-reading and workshop lead by Carmen Aguirre, Chilean-Canadian author, actor, and playwright.

The Voces Nuevas Latinx Author series is thrilled to announce Carmen Aguirre, Chilean-Canadian author, actor, and playwright, will visit UCSB January 11-12, 2023 for in-person events. Much of her writing has been autobiographical and unabashedly left-wing, exploring themes of exile, loss, alienation, and isolation. Often the tone of her work is darkly comic. Carmen's first book, Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter (2011), was nominated for national and international awards, and is a #1 national bestseller. Her second memoir, Mexican Hooker #1 and My Other Roles Since the Revolution (2016), received rave reviews on the international stage. It became a Globe and Mail bestseller a week after publication and was named one of the best books of 2016 by The National Post and CBC.
