Il Dolce Far Niente

These days have become repetitive reactions of a moment, and although I always wanted to write a dystopia for Sant Jordi, this year, someone has been ahead of all writers and has created the dystopia that has managed to capture attention at the level world of all and, instead of making us read it as if it were the most interesting of the long-sellers, it is making us live that ...

Feminist protests overflow the streets every March 8, but more and more, the feminist movement is becoming more noticeable and more present in the daily life of citizens, due to the great effort and good work that the feminist associations are taking out, and how this Fourth Feminist Wave flows through social media.

The heat laziness threatens to slowly kill urban life, while the shores of the beach suffer a high rate of bulimia from escapes from the big city and vomit bodies greased with greasy oils that ...

This year I celebrate International Women's Day (# 8M) from a new perspective: the first black novel that I have published Clandestina (Editorial Caligrama) has been included by Marie Claire, one of the most recognized magazines in fashion and cultural trends, in the "List of the 20 feminist novels written by women that you should read sometime in life". For me, it is a great compliment to catalogue my novel as ...

The  CCCB gives us a great gift to all lovers of cinema: an exhibition about the career of the revered Stanley Kubrick. Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick was born on July 26, 1928, in the Bronx of New York, and died on March 7, 1999, at his home in England, of a heart attack, just four months before the premiere of what would be his last Movie: Eyes Wide Shut. Kubrick began in ...

In recent days I visited the exhibition "A certain darkness" at the CaixaFòrum in Barcelona. The exhibition, curated by Alexandra Laudo, is part of the Comisart program and raises the relationship between the value of the cult of images and the value of the exhibition. In the exhibition we can enjoy some pieces of art by Joan Brossa, José Maldonado, Perejaume, Christo, Tim Rollins and KOS, Juan Francisco Isidro, Pedro Mora, ...

Gender violence, we continue the same as every November 25 and I go back to review the chilling data and the surprising headlines: "The murdered woman had denounced", "Alert the growth of sexist violence among young people", "One in three Europeans justifies sexual abuse "," Record of male violence "," Spain to the tail in complaints of rape for fear of not being believed "and so infinitely on thousands of ...
