🌍 Kirjanduslinna sügisesele residentuurikonkursile laekus enam kui 100 avaldust kirjanikelt üle kogu maailma ning sedapuhku osutus valituks Mehhiko päritolu kirjanik ja lavaluuletaja Ale Oseguera, kes elab juba paarkümmend aastat Barcelonas, mis on UNESCO kirjanduslinnade võrgustiku liige sama kaua kui Tartu – alates 2015. aastast.
✍️ Oseguera on aktiivne sealses kirjanduselus, tegutseb kultuuriajakirjanduse ja kommunikatsiooni alal, juhib raamatuklubisid ja loovkirjutamise töötube, avaldab kirjanduskriitikat ning esineb lavaluulesündmustel. Alates 2019. aastast koordineerib ta Hispaania Rahvusringhäälingu raadiojaama Radio 3 saate Todos Somos Sospechosos luuleosa.Tema sulest on ilmunud kolm luulekogu ja kaks romaani ning tema loomingut, kus tihti tõusevad esile mälu, identiteedi ja võõrsiloleku motiivid, iseloomustab žanriline mitmekesisus: näiteks tänavu ilmunud romaanis „Dugongo” (“Dugong”) segunevad reisikiri, päevik ja esseistlik fiktsioon. Luules on talle oluline tekstide jõudmine lehelt kaugemale, nende edasiandmine hääle ja kehaga; oma lavaluulekavaga on ta üles astunud nii Hispaanias kui ka Mehhikos, Belgias ja Inglismaal. 🎤
📍 Tartus viibides plaanib Oseguera töötada oma uue romaani käsikirjaga ning õppida tundma eesti kultuuri ja kirjandust, ka esineb ta lavaluulekavaga 5.–7. novembrini toimuval festivalil Hullunud Tartu. Tema residentuur kestab oktoobri keskpaigast detsembri keskpaigani. 📖

🇬🇧More than 100 applications were submitted to Tartu City of Literature autumn residency programme. This time, the successful candidate is Mexican-born writer and performance poet Ale Oseguera, who has lived in Barcelona for around twenty years. Barcelona has been a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network’s Cities of Literature programme for just as long as Tartu – since 2015.
🌍 Oseguera is an active figure in Barcelona’s literary scene. She works in cultural journalism and communications, leads book clubs and creative writing workshops, publishes literary criticism, and performs at spoken-word events. Since 2019, she has also coordinated the poetry segment of Todos Somos Sospechosos, a programme broadcast by Radio 3, a station of Spain’s national public broadcaster.
📚 She has published three poetry collections and two novels. Her work, which often explores themes of memory, identity and displacement, is characterised by its diversity of genres. For example, her novel Dugongo (Dugong), published this year, blends travel writing, diary entries and essayistic fiction.
🎤 In her poetry, Oseguera is particularly interested in taking texts beyond the page and conveying them through voice and the body. She has performed her spoken-word poetry in Spain and Mexico, as well as in Belgium and England.
📍 During her stay in Tartu, Oseguera plans to work on the manuscript of her new novel and explore Estonian culture and literature. She will also present her spoken-word performance at the Crazy Tartu festival, which takes place from 5 to 7 November. Her residency will run from mid-October to mid-December.
