The Italian Cultural Institute Bangkok presents a literaary evening at the Neilson Hays Library, where the architectural heritage of Mario Tamagno provides the setting for a special engagement with Dacia Maraini.
Bringing with her a lifetime of literary and activism, Maraini offers a critical lens on the female condition, the enduring scars of systemic injustice, and the complex dialogue between individual memory and collective history
This is a valuable opportunity for students, literary enthusiasts, and social observers to broaden their perspectives through the words of an author who has not only witnessed the changing tides of the 20th and 21st centuries but has actively shaped the discourse around them. The evening is conceived as a forum for critical thought and open exchange.
We invite you to engage directly with the source: to listen, to question, and to expand your worldview in the presence of a writer who has dedicated her life to the pursuit of social truth.
