NOTES
Type:
General
Note:
Margaret Randall begins sharing a bit about the Nicaraguan revolution and its history.
Nicole Brossard's speech mostly revolves around the fact that writing could be a revolution itself; she also talks a bit about revolution and feminism stating women have been excited by art and language that make them involved in creative writing.
Brian Fawcett mainly talks about turning points in writing like technological turning point and the way it changes the way information is accessed and the necessity of finding ways to get around the toxicity of culture people back then used to live in.
Once their individual speeches are over, the audience begins to comment and ask some questions. The main focus on the second side is the political role of the United States and Canada in association with Nicaraguan and Latin American revolution discussing the impact of writers and their works on.
