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 Cristina Pato, Spring 2020 King Juan Carlos I Chair in Spanish Culture and Civilization. The interview was recorded thanks to a team led by Marina Garde and the creative team of Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger.
