The word of the afternoon is hwyl. During the first week of August (3rd to 10th), the National Eisteddfod inspires a celebration of culture, language and community. The Welsh festival has taken place nearly every year since 1861, with some exceptions eg First World War and the coronavirus pandemic necessitated its postponement. It is one of the nation’s richest showcases of music, dance, performance, song and visual art, and with it comes an emotion for which Welsh uniquely has a word: hwyl. Hwyl is defined in the dictionary as ‘an emotional quality that inspires and sustains impassioned eloquence’ as well as ‘the fervour of emotion characteristic of gathering of Welsh people.’ In Welsh the word more often refers to an intangible quality, conveying a sense of belonging and home, of mood and passion. In this it is akin to another Welsh term: hiraeth, the longing for home, and all that belongs there. More about the Eisteddfod: https://lnkd.in/e9fNVrwc

Latinx Spaces will prominently feature Latinx arts and cultures. Our content will depart from Latinx positionalites, towards a space of political and intellectual dialogue. In doing so, however, we hope to avoid the pitfalls that befall identity projects. The goal is not assimilation, exclusivity, or even indoctrination, but the concrete development of pluriversal dialogues. While our content will be diverse, it will remain committed to one or both of these critical orientations: To disrupt those metanarratives that continue to sustain systems of oppression and exclusion.   To bring to light Latin American dispositions and sensibilities through the promotion of Latinx arts and cultures.

“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.” Charles Mingus aka“The Angry Man of Jazz” was born 102 years ago this month. There’s a lot to unpack from that quote. When things are simple they are better. When things are simple they are adopted faster. When things are simple they are easier to implement. Simple saves time - simple sells! Simple doesn’t mean cheap. It does take talent to simplify the complex. Think about what you can do to simplify complex things in your personal or professional life. To fully appreciate the quote, I encourage you to read more about one of the greatest jazz composers of the 20th century. Living up to his nickname, his widow described him as “powerful…completely individual…volatile…strong…supremely honest and uncompromising.” He was certainly a multi-dimensional person, a virtuoso and genius in his craft, but was able to make the most complex sounds so accessible.
