Maru Ceballos’ #Dante2018 Illustrations

September 2, 2019 By Alexa Kellenberger FSU '22

Maru Ceballos is a visual artist known for her striking, inky, horror style. During the #Dante2018 social media initiative, Ceballos created a variety of pieces based on the Divine Comedy, and her work was used as promotional art by Museo Mitre for the exhibition “Los círculos del Dante.” Pictured above are a few of her pieces from this series. Clockwise from the top right is an illustration for Paradiso, an illustration for Purgatorio, a portrait of Dante, and an illustration for Inferno.

“Maru Ceballos, autora/ilustradora de los libros Los Idiotas y Muertos de Amor y de Miedo es diseñadora gráfica y desde hace un par de años ha trabajado sobre la Divina Comedia ilustrándola. ‘Si bien lo había intentado hace mucho, no lo había leído antes,’ confiesa Maru que arrancó con una edición en verso que después perdió, pero no fue hasta hace un par de años que retomó su lectura, esta vez con una edición en prosa. ‘Fue así que agarré el libro y empecé a leer. Pero no lo hice en función de ilustrarlo. En realidad me dieron ganas de ilustrarlo cuando lo empecé a leer. Me rompió tanto la cabeza el manejo de imágenes visuales que tiene el Dante que empecé a hacer esquemas, porque la obra es larga, compleja y muy simbólica. Cuando avancé en la lectura me di cuenta que ameritaba una ilustración más conciente y empecé de cero, prestando atención a los simbolismos.'” — Interview with Barbi Couto, “La Divina Comedia, un libro para descubrir y descubrirse,” La nueva Mañana (July 3, 2018)

“#Dante2018: llega a su fin la lectura masiva de la Divina Comedia“

September 2, 2019 By Alexa Kellenberger FSU '22

“Llega el final de uno de los grandes eventos culturales del año: la lectura -masiva- y compartida a través de las redes sociales de La Divina Comedia, la obra de Dante Alighieri.

“La iniciativa, a cargo del ensayista Pablo Maurette, comenzó con el primer día del 2018 y, bajo el hashtag #Dante2018, se leyó un canto por día, a partir del cual se compartieron impresiones e inquietudes de manera colectiva en Twitter.

“Horas antes del cierre, de la lectura de La última sonrisa de Beatriz, canto final de Paraíso, con la que se concluirá la lectura colectiva, Maurette explicó a Infobae Cultura: ‘Fue una experiencia muy buena. Me impresiona que tanta gente se haya sumado y haya leído hasta el final. Hubo discusiones muy interesantes. Incluso algunas bastante acaloradas. Bastante humor, también. Se generó una verdadera comunidad virtual’ [. . .]

“Durante este día de cierre, participarán de la lectura personas de casi todos los países de habla hispana, Brasil, Italia y Estados Unidos. Esto también sucedió cuando se realizó la lectura del último canto del Infierno y el Purgatorio.” [. . .]    —Infobae, April 10, 2018.
