In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Fundaci\u00f3n Shakespeare Argentina.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I am delighted to send my greetings to everyone connected to the Fundaci\u00f3n Shakespeare Argentina, on the occasion of your first decade.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was my pleasure to meet the founders, Mercedes de la Torre and Carlos A. Drocchi at the World Shakespeare Congress in Prague in 2011.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now we are a decade on, and it is a special time to say \u2018Congratulations\u2019, and to thank you for all have been doing to gather people around Shakespeare in Argentina, and further afield.<\/em><\/p>\n

I recall with gratitude your willingness to help The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust include a haunting, surrealist painting by Juan Carlos Liberti (1931-2014) in our exhibition to mark the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare\u2019s birth. Two years later, the Fundaci\u00f3n helped my co-editor Peter Holbrook and me to source and include a rare interview with Liberti reflecting on his Shakespeare-related paintings for a book produced for the International Shakespeare Association: Shakespeare\u2019s Creative Legacies: Artists, Writers, Performers, Readers (Bloomsbury: The Arden Shakespeare, 2016). Liberti notes that \u2018Rafael Squirru\u2019s Shakespeare translations made me feel the rigour of Shakespeare\u2019s writing and certain surrealistic traits.\u2019 I happened to visit Shakespeare\u2019s Birthplace earlier today, on the first day of its re- opening after months of closure because of the pandemic. I was pleased to be reminded of Liberti\u2019s eye- catching portrait of William Shakespeare (1982) \u2013 his face made up of a half-concealing manuscript, his ruff like bunched-together pages, and holding a model of the Globe Theatre \u2013 courtesy of the Museo de Arte Contempor\u00e1neo Latinoamericano La Plata, Rep\u00fablica Argentina.<\/em><\/p>\n

As I made my way further into the exhibition, I was came across another Argentinian Shakespearian: Dr Claudia Ferradas, Educator and former Academic Secretary at the IES en Lenguas Vivas, Buenos Aires, and indeed another Argentinian portrait of Shakespeare \u2013 by Hern\u00e1n Flores (2015).<\/em><\/p>\n

So, our decade-long association with the Fundaci\u00f3n Shakespeare Argentina continues to be known to people from all over the world who visit the Shakespeare Centre, Stratford-upon-Avon.<\/em><\/p>\n

And I know I am always glad of the Fundaci\u00f3n\u2019s support and encouragement for Shakespeare projects and content on social media.<\/em><\/p>\n

Congratulations, Fundaci\u00f3n Shakespeare Argentina!<\/em><\/p>\n

Long may you continue \u2018with many years of sunshine days\u2019 (Richard II, act 1, scene 1). <\/em><\/p>\n

With all good wishes,<\/em><\/p>\n

Rev. Dr Paul Edmondson Head of Research.<\/strong><\/p>\n
