We welcome Bolivia’s 2016 Chevening Scholars to the UK and this event offers each of the eight the opportunity to give a short presentation about their background and planned research.
The meet-up will be followed with an update on A-BS’s council member and Leverhulme Fellow Dr Kate Maclean’s research on the Burgesía Chola. Kate spoke to us about her work in February and she has just returned from a research trip to La Paz.
A big part of the A-BS is the connection between individuals in Bolivia and the UK and we feel this event offers members a unique opportunity to engage with young Bolivian scholars at the start of their careers, while catching up with a UK academic with a proven research record.
Friends of Bolivia in collaboration with Deptford Cinema are proud to present the award winning Bolivian Film “El dia que murió el silencio” – The Day Silence Died. A romantic comedy, South American Style with enough magical realism
Handsome entrepreneur Abelardo arrives in the sleepy little town of Villaserena, rigs up speakers throughout the village, and begins broadcasting “Radio Nobleza”. For a small sum of money, the townspeople can now buy the opportunity to express publicly what they couldn’t say before. Villaserena’s closets are quickly emptied of their skeletons, old quarrels are revived and secrets are no longer. Abelardo soon discovers Celeste, a beautiful young woman virtually imprisoned behind the walls of her father’s house, and romance ensues. In Spanish with English subtitles.
