Haurem de trobar un lloc on trobar-nos presentation by Cloe Masotta

A wound gives off its own light 
surgeons say. 
If all the lamps in the house were turned out 
you could dress this wound 
by what shines from it.

Anne Carson, The Beauty of the Husband 

The publication Haurem de trobar un lloc on trobar-nos (We Will Have to Find a Place to Meet) is first and foremost a loving encounter between a daughter and her father through letters he wrote to his mother over 40 years ago. The author’s father was the Argentinean artist and intellectual Oscar Masotta, who boarded a ship bound for Europe in 1974. He lived in London and then moved to Barcelona, where he died four years later. In 2016, after 17 years without setting foot in Buenos Aires, Cloe Masotta went to the house where her father had spent his childhood. There she found a box full of letters and photographs, a moving and fragile collection in no particular order, an invitation to stitch up the wounds of her own history with a thread of light.
