📖 An in-depth look at her poetry

Clementina Arderiu is one of the leading voices of 20th-century Catalan poetry. Influenced by Catalan popular poetry, her work explores themes such as everyday life, inner life, and the female condition, revealing far greater complexity than has historically been recognized.

As the partner of fellow poet Carles Riba, her literary career was frequently eclipsed and overshadowed by his. This lecture will be delivered by Maria Callís, curator of the Any Clementina Arderiu, who will highlight the depth and sensitivity of Arderiu's work and explain her significant contribution to Catalan poetry.
