Last night we hosted the launch of Beyond Restitution, the new book by @KristinHausler & Elke Selter, in partnership w/ @BIICL.
A compelling discussion on the journeys of cultural objects and what happens after their return — incl. the historic bells returned from Wales to Chile.
Today @NonaFernandez did a fantastic talk at Oxford as part of @oxfordlitfest. In a conversation moderated by Josh Weeks, she talked about the role of personal & collective memory, and pop culture references in her work. Thanks to @CervantesLondon and @Dauntbooks for the support!
The amazing @NonaFernandez is in the UK and will be at @oxfordlitfest tomorrow, 3 April. This is truly a unique opportunity to listen to one of the most brilliant minds in Latin American literature. UNMISSABLE.

The Society's AGM at the Embassy of Chile on March 6th saw @FionaClouder reelected as Chairman. Claudio Duran was elected Treasurer, succeeding Robert Hart, lauded for 25 years of exemplary financial stewardship. Robert's wisdom will be missed. @anglochilean@Chile_in_the_UK
Escribí esta columna para @ciper sobre las películas chilenas que van al Oscar de este año. Mi punto: será vergonzoso si la clase política se suma a las celebraciones en caso de un eventual premio. Ya que me sigue presidente @GabrielBoric acá se la dejo: https://t.co/p3OrDDAuvu
I am deeply saddened by the tragic news from Chile that former President Sebastián Piñera has died in an accident.
President Piñera was a true friend to the UK, and a friend to me also, after we enjoyed a close working relationship during our time in office. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Quiero expresar mis más sentidas condolencias a la familia, cercanos y a quienes fueron parte de los dos gobiernos del ex Presidente Sebastián Piñera Echenique. En especial, hago llegar un abrazo cariñoso y fraterno a su esposa, Cecilia Morel, a sus hijos, Magdalena, Cecilia, Sebastián y Cristóbal, y también a todos los chilenos y chilenas que hoy reciben esta noticia con pesar y dolor.
