The Embassy of Chile in Australia, The Australian National Centre for Latin American Studies (ANCLAS), the ANU Film Group and the ANU Gender Institute are pleased to invite you to a dialogue about Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral, her life and works from a gender perspective, followed by the screening of the documentary Locas Mujeres.

Locas Mujeres is a documentary about the Chilean poet, Gabriela Mistral, and her relationship with the American Doris Dana. Gabriela meets Doris when she thinks she cannot overcome the biggest tragedy of her life: the suicide of her only son. Doris, realizing that her partner will be gone soon, records the conversations with her in their Long Island house. These recordings will be the access to the affective universe of a woman who lives in permanent tension with her inner demons and whose sensitivity and ambition make her the protagonist of her time. 

RSVP by 26 April to echile.australia@minrel.gob.cl
