Renowned author Isabel Allende talked candidly about grief and love at a conversation hosted by UC Berkeley’s Arts Research Center on Wednesday. ⁠ ⁠ According to Sara Guyer, campus dean of arts and humanities and professor of English — who moderated the conversation — Allende’s event was particularly significant, as it marked the 25th anniversary of the Arts Research Center.⁠ ⁠ “(Beth Piatote), the director of the Arts Research Center … wanted to invite someone who really represented the full vision of the Arts Research Center,” Guyer said. “Someone for whom arts is a form of research, and also research is a part of their arts, someone whose audience is wide-ranging, who can speak to art as a core part of human experience.”⁠ ⁠ Read more through the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ ✍️: Amber X.
