Cycle of lectures: Three Generations of the Silver Age

Cycle of lectures: Three Generations of the Silver Age

This cycle of lectures and a screening are being held in connection with the exhibition entitled La Residencia de Estudiantes, which is organised by AC/E and the Residencia de Estudiantes. Complementing the exhibition, which traces the history of the institution and its key figures and collaborators, the lectures, delivered by Andrés Soria Omeda, Almudena de la Cueva, Pedro Cerezo and Juan Pérez de Ayala, are intended to highlight the role of the Residencia in Spanish culture of the period known as the ‘Silver Age’.

The lectures stress the context in which the work of international artists like Lorca, Dalí and Buñuel and other prominent people who studied at the Residencia took shape; the atmosphere of living together and of a cross-generational meeting; and also the dialogue that sprang up there between different disciplines and between tradition and modernity.

The cycle ends with the screening of the documentary Hablaremos de esto antes de 100 años (We’ll be Talking About This in 100 Years’ Time), which will be presented by its scriptwriter Juan Pérez de Ayala. Based on film and photographic material, some of which has never been previously shown, the documentary traces the public and private history of the spirit embodied by the Residencia from its opening in 1910 to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1936.
