Guest writers and speakers will explore his legacy. Alfredo Cordal (Santiago de Chile, 23 April 1941 – London, 7 October 2022), poet and journalist in his native Chile, was forced into exile during Pinochet’s military regime in the 1970s—an exile that remained at the core of his being and about which he never stopped writing.
He was also a playwright and a prominent performance artist of his own work. His pieces were staged in London theatres such as The White Bear (Kennington), the Lyric Hammersmith and the Bridge Lane, among others. He took part in Latin American and refugee festivals and events, and was a member of Exiled Writers Ink. His poems were featured in numerous anthologies, and he published his book Lenguas de Fuego.
