Bicentenario
200 years ago, the independence movement began in Latin America that led to liberation from Spanish colonial rule. The term “Bicentenario” for the events of 1809-11 is certainly thought of as being controversial in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela. For the “Bicentenario” at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, artists and intellectuals, musicians and writers, theater directors and filmmakers from Latin America will develop a more differentiated view of the continent’s political, social and artistic relationships.
