GRANADA BEYOND THE ALHAMBRA
Jessica Rodríguez Martínez, architect
Tuesday 22 and 29 in October and Tuesday 5 in November at 18:30 in Les Roches Saturday 9 November, guided tour of the city of Granada
With this tempting title, the architect Jessica Rodríguez Martínez will take us to a Granada that is as beautiful as, for many, unknown. It will be a journey through its history from its Roman origins, its pre Roman times to the present day. In this journey through time, which speaks of Nazari splendor, Christianity, the Renaissance, the Baroque and Romanticism, the word and the image will go hand in hand to show us the beauty and the problems of a unique city.

We look forward to seeing you!

CINEFORUM
PAST LIVES
Thursday 31 October at 18:30
At our friend Eloísa´s place
Cycle: Award-winning films
Friendship, childhood, sadness, nostalgia, love, reunion… That’s life and that’s how director Celine Song tells it in her debut feature, Past Lives. An intimate story of two childhood friends, Nora and Hae, who are separated (only to meet again years later) when the girl’s family leaves South Korea for New York. A simple plot, masterfully handled, that will make us talk and reflect on the passing of time and the changes it produces in us. A beautiful film. See you there.

WOMEN IN THE BACKROUND OF HISTORY
CHRISTINE DE PIZAN
In the vast history of philosophy, we often come across male names that have left an indelible mark. However, it is important to highlight those thinkers who, despite facing challenges and prejudices, managed to carve out a place for themselves in the philosophical arena. One such example is Christine de Pizan, a 14th century philosopher and writer who challenged the norms of her time and left a lasting legacy.
