The KINO – Washington Street – Cork

This Spring, @uccsplas invites the Cork community to a series of talks on a wide range of artists from Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. The speakers will be members of our department who specialise in the many different cultures spread across the Spanish-speaking and Lusophone worlds.

The talks will take place every Wednesday from 18:30 to 19:30 – Feb 13th to April 17th – at the Kino in Washington street, Cork. You can find the programme below, including some very well-known figures but also artists who have not enjoyed as much visibility in the past.
