Federico García Lorca’s poems were printed anonymously in 1983 after being hidden away by family for 50 yearsIn the autumn of 1983, dozens of carefully chosen readers received an envelope containing a slim, red booklet of sonnets that had been locked away since they were written almost 50 years earlier by the most famous Spanish poet of the 20th century.While those behind the initiative gave no clue as to their identities, their purpose was made abundantly clear in the dedication on the booklet’s final page: “This first edition of the Sonnets of Dark Love is being published to remember the passion of the man who wrote them.” Continue reading...

3 w. ago Wales, a Home from Home: untold stories of Welsh global culture – in pictures

An exhibition at the Welsh parliament from 24 May to 12 July will go on to tour Wales throughout 2025.The project, by Vision Fountain, seeks to highlight the contributions migrants have made to Welsh society – particularly at a time when migration, and migrants themselves, are it seems increasingly demonised in politics and the media.Wales was officially designated a ‘Nation of Sanctuary’ in 2019, but its tradition of offering refuge reaches back centuries. Italians settled in Wales in the 19th century, drawn not only by the familiar hills and castles but also the certainty of work and friendship.Wales: A Home From Home brings together stories from Wales’s diverse global communities, from ‘heritage’ migrants, such as the Italians, to recent arrivals escaping trauma, such as Ukrainians, Syrians and Hongkongers.While the project celebrates moments of joy and connection, it also gives voice to difficult memories: experiences of trauma, displacement and the challenges of starting anew i...

3 w. ago Echo of You review – expressive documentary hears from grieving life partners

Zara Zerny’s lucid and compassionate study gathers moving, candid interviews with bereaved partners remembering their lost loves The Marvel bromide about “What is grief, if not love persevering?” comes to mind watching this metaphysically charged Danish documentary in which nine senior citizens discuss their departed life partners. Director Zara Zerny works hard in defining the miracle of lifelong companionship, and the ineffable essence of that significant other which persists after death. So much so that, in one final, oddly encouraging section, some of the interviewees here suggest that their loved one still watches over them, Patrick Swayze-style.Awkward beginnings and lovestruck thunderclaps: it’s all here. Finn-Erik recalls his first sighting of Kirsten as a 17-year-old with ballet-dancer grace. Ove was rescued from a hotel-room orgy with multiple Norwegians by strapping six-footer Bent, who tells him: “You’re coming home with me.” Then there’s Elly, the trauma of whose first ...
