NOTICIAS DE LA FUNDACIÓN MAPFRE EN MUSEUMWEEK. . CBA: EXPOSICIÓN "SCULPTING AMERICA" AND ISRAELI WRITER A. B. YEHOSHUA DIES AGED 85


Durante esta semana, en nuestras redes sociales y las del KBr en Barcelona, nos uniremos a la #MuseumWeek, evento cultural digital internacional que se celebra del 13 al 19 de junio y que este año se centrará en el tema "cultura, sociedad e innovación".

La visualización y escucha de contenidos digitales ha experimentado un fuerte avance durante la pandemia. Todas las instituciones y centros culturales -incluidos nosotros-, en menor o mayor medida, nos hemos movilizado virtualmente para seguir brindando a la sociedad, a nuestros públicos, del disfrute de nuestras colecciones y propuestas expositivas.

Durante el confinamiento, decidimos apostar por los contenidos online con el proyecto "Cultura en digital", con la intención ser una canal paralelo a la actividad en salas, para invitar al público a acercarse a las muestras desde perspectivas menos habituales para disfrutar de una experiencia diferente: directos con colaboradores, visitas virtuales, recursos didácticos en torno al arte para hacer talleres en casa...

En la actualidad continuamos con esta programación, que complementa y amplifica nuestra actividad presencial, para promover el acceso a la cultura de toda clase de públicos, con un planteamiento inclusivo e igualitario.

WRITER AVRAHAM B. YEHOSHUA DIED

Jerusalem (AFP) – Avraham B. Yehoshua, one of Israel's most revered and prolific novelists and a vocal supporter of Palestinian rights, has died aged 85, Tel Aviv's Ichilov hospital said Tuesday.

Yehoshua, who was born in Jerusalem in 1936 to parents with roots in Greece and Morocco, published his first collection of short stories in 1963.

Decades of critically-acclaimed writing saw him win a string of international awards and his works translated into more than 30 languages.

In 2012, he won France's Medicis literature prize -- awarded to a writer whose fame has not yet matched their talent -- for a translated version of his novel "The Retrospective."

Nitza Ben-Dov, a literature professor who taught at Haifa University with Yehoshua and is an expert on his works, described him as "our greatest author," whose writing encompassed every literary genre and evolved over the years.

"He moved from dreamy surreal stories, disconnected from time and place, to works anchored in the Israeli culture and existence," she said, characterising his later works as "very psychological" at the influence of his wife, who was a psychoanalyst.

Yehoshua was a "warm and open" man hungry for recognition, Ben-Dov said, noting he could also be painfully direct in conversation.

"He was a complex man whose attitude to the world was ambivalent," she said.

"His awareness of the human complexity, which he drew from his own experience, made his work multi-faceted."

An advocate for Palestinians and who supported leftwing Israeli parties, Yehoshua was also a member of the public council of prominent Israeli rights group B'tselem, which is fiercely critical of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.

The group said Yehoshua had "dedicated his time and energy to equality, peace and human rights to all people".

Ben-Dov called Yehoshua "a great patriot" who believed Jews could not be complete as people living outside of Israel, and whose writing reflected a deep connection to the Israeli experience.

"He was very connected to himself and his art, but at the same time, cared deeply about what was happening in the world," she said.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog mourned Yehoshua's death, saying his work "drew from our homeland and people's cultural treasures, reflecting us in a sharp, accurate, compassionate and at-times painful mirror image."

"He evoked in us a mosaic of deep feelings," Herzog said in a statement.

His funeral will take place at Ein Hacarmel cemetery in northern Israel on Wednesday afternoon.
