In April 2022, NYU’s King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center will turn 25. To commemorate this milestone, we are producing ATRIUM: Voices from the KJCC, an oral history project that will capture memories of the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center through the recorded testimonies of our past Chairs going as far back as the 80’s, 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.

The series continues with an interview with Estrella de Diego, Spring 1999 King Juan Carlos I of Spain Chair in Spanish Culture And Civilization. The interview was filmed at El Escorial in Madrid by the Fundación Rey Juan Carlos I, edited by the creative team of Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger and supervised by Marina Garde.
