📖 Sound poetry and channels of memory

Author Daniela Catrileo unfolds the poem through the interplay of voice and body. In close sound collaboration with Rocío García, the spoken words construct an immersive cadence where the river flows as an unrelenting channel of memory.

Catrileo, a philosophy teacher, essayist, and award-winning author honored with accolades such as the Premio Municipal de Literatura de Santiago and the Premio Marta Brunet, conceives this reading as a sensory immersion led by living verse.

🏛️ In dialogue with the Cautín exhibition

This performative event draws direct inspiration from the artworks in the exhibition "Cautín" by Seba Calfuqueo, expanding the artistic dialogue between riverine memory and the body inside the museum space.

ℹ️ Good to know: Open to the general public on floor -1. Admission is free with prior booking, available starting 13 October via the museum website or by telephone.

✨ A poetic and sonic event where the flowing stream of words reawakens collective memory.
