Live

Research, like memory, must be represented.
And representation must grow and develop and be dynamic.
CartasVivas make words on paper stand up and be voice. They do so not only audiovisually.
They also reach the classroom and the stage.

COLLAGE ENVELOP(E)S

The backgrounds featuring in our CartasVivas represent the life and the work of the author that speaks to us. Like an envelope, they envelop her and they help her reach us clearly.

CARTASVIVAS CLASSROOM

CartasVivas are a tool for Knowledge and debate. Our students at Exeter University learn about Spain’s twentieth century history through female-authored memory literature. The journey from archive to audiovisual cartaviva is a research project that turns future Hispanists into content creators and agents of cultural change. We work with educators and students from universities and secondary schools in Spain, UK and other countries both sides of the Atlantic.
