To mark the opening of the Gabriel García Márquez archive at the Harry Ransom Center, international scholars, journalists, filmmakers and former colleagues of García Márquez gathered Oct. 28-30 on campus to discuss his global influence in the fields of journalism, filmmaking and literature.
From the opening keynote speech by Salman Rushdie (see the video below) to the closing remarks by Elena Poniatowska, look back at highlights from the symposium — co-hosted by the LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections — which explored the life and legacy of the beloved author and public intellectual.
