In April 2022, NYU’s King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center turned 25. To commemorate this milestone, we are producing ATRIUM: Voices from the KJCC, an oral history project that captures memories of the KJCC through the recorded testimonies of our past Chairs going as far back as the ’80s, before the Center was as we know it today: a robust cultural and educational institution that hosts both the Andrés Bello and the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Chairs.

Below we present a historic reel with the voices of some of our interviewees for the project:

AVAILABLE INTERVIEWS:

You can also watch the individual interviews of the series. The latest one features Francesc Torres, King Juan Carlos I Chair in Spanish Culture and Civilization in 2006. The interview was recorded thanks to a team led by Marina Garde and the creative team of Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger.
