To mark the 50th anniversary of the death of the poet Clementina Arderiu, an initiative promoted by the Department of Culture of the Government of Catalonia through the Institució de les Lletres Catalanes, the performance-lecture«I tot desig impur serà extingit» will take place on Saturday 7 November. It highlights the relationship between Clementina Arderiu and Olga Sacharoff, who collaborated on the bibliophile edition of Sempre i ara (1946), for which Sacharoff produced a series of lithographs.

Taking as its starting point aspects of the life and work of the poet Clementina Arderiu and the artist Olga Sacharoff, this performance-lecture, led by Alexandra Laudo, will explore the eyes, the gaze, sin and desire.

Organised by: Institució de les Lletres Catalanes and Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya.
