Screening of the documentary 'What matters?'

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed in December 1948 and, since then, has been translated into 503 languages and dialects. In What matters?, 30 international writers, artists and students commemorate the 30 articles of the declaration, lending their voices and reading out in more than 15 languages the articles contained in the document. Personalities from different fields of culture, including the US singer and poet Patti Smith, the Turkish publisher and journalist Can Dündar, the British designer Vivienne Westwood and the Chinese multi-disciplinary artist Ai Weiwei, are just some of the figures who have joined this project to create a mosaic of languages and ideas that we should, in these times, remember and give prominence to.

To infinity and beyond. Lecture by Marcus du Sautoy

What is the importance of the infinite in a limited world? Has anyone ever reached this indefinable point, given our finite lives? Can you count the uncountable? The mathematician Marcus du Sautoy (United Kingdom), Professor of Science and Mathematics at the University of Oxford, offers to take the reins on matters that affect us, as determinate beings. In his book How To Count to Infinity, Sautoy shows us the infinite as a kind of mathematical opening in our minds. At this event he will explain why it is worth imagining all the things that are above and beyond our brief existence.

DNA, the dictator. With Miguel Pita

Do we really choose our partners freely? Is infidelity hereditary? Are the illnesses I will suffer marked in my genes? The prestigious Spanish scientist, Miguel Pita, Doctor of Genetics and Cellular Biology and internationally recognized for his educational work on science, puts the reader inside the mind of Ale, a human being like any other, for a day. Through this narrative, Pita answers, in his book El ADN dictador, that important question: do our genes determine our tastes and decisions? In short: are we born, or are we made?
