The writings of Bobby Sands

the revolutionary icon as writer

On Friday May 6th, at the Club de Amigos de la Unesco, in Madrid, we will be remembering the leader of the Irish hunger strikers through his writings on the 30th anniversary of his death.

On May 5th 1981 Bobby Sands, an Irish republican prisoner, died in Long Kesh prison after sixty-six days on a human rights hunger strike to demand political prisoner status. Thirty years after his death we want to pay homage to him and remember him through the writings he produced while imprisoned: prose, poems and songs in addition to passages of the diary he wrote over his first 17 days on hunger strike. The texts selected will focus on the human values contained in his literary work, as well as considering the circumstances and context in which they were written.

After and introduction about him and his historical context by Luis Antonio Sierra (author of Irlanda del Norte. Historia del conflicto and Irlanda: Una nación en busca de su identidad), we will read a selection of texts in Spanish, English and Irish (translation provided for languages other than Spanish).

Location: CAUM (Club de Amigos de la Unesco de Madrid)
Plaza de Tirso de Molina, nº 8 – 1º
28012 - Madrid

Date and time: Friday, May 6th, at 18:30

Free admission.
