Tandeciarz. Notes / Notas (published by the87press) captures the sorrow and violence of Argentina's 1976 military dictatorship; translated for the first time into English, this collection is renowned for its linguistic innovation. Translator Arianna Afsari will read from the collection and participate in a discussion about Gelman's poetics and the experience of translating these prescient poems. **[ORDER THE BOOK HERE](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/notes-notas/)** **About the speaker:** **Arianna Afsari** is a translator and doctoral candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor).

Afsari works across three languages: Persian, Spanish, and Russian.

Storytelling Barcelona – "Power"
Wed, Jun 17, 5:00 PMOur theme for June is POWER Who had it. Who wanted it. Who abused it. Who gave it away without noticing.

Or powerless in a way that stayed with you. **As always, interpret the theme freely.** 📍 **Where:** Café El Noa Noa, C/Villarroel 71, Eixample 🕢 **When:** Wednesday, Jun 17th **Time:** Doors at 19:00 — Stories from 19:30 to 21:30 💶 **Free entry** \| **Donations welcome** **Please come just to listen or get on stage,** be vulnerable, and share with us, a diverse group of welcoming and open people who are curious about each others' lives. Stories will last from 7 to 10 minutes. Expect ten stories plus an intermission. **Storytelling Barcelona is a completely free event run by volunteers.** We welcome everyone to get on stage! Absolutely no experience is necessary. We only ask that stories be true and personal and that they are performed as opposed to read—and they should be stories instead of philosophical musings, motivational speeches, or stand-up routines. The content is completely at the discretion of the storyteller as long as it is related in the monthly theme and respectful to the diversity and experiences of all humans. **Interested in sharing a story?** Spots are volunteer-based and given on a first come, first serve basis.
