Throughout this interview, we speak with the writer and activist of Honduran origin Cinthya Maldonado Méndez, who has already published two literary works in which she depicts the edges of the migratory phenomenon of Latin American women in today's Spain through both her own experience and the ones her compatriots told her. Mujeres migradas (2018) and Emociones diversas (2019) are her two published works so far, although she is about to put out her third book, delayed by the pandemic, La Iridiscencia del Colibrí. Maldonado is one of the local writers in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat through the association L’Hospitalet Escriu and is co-founder of the group Mujeres Desde el Arte; Likewise, she has the recognition of being a distinguished visitor of the city of El Progreso Yoro (Honduras) or the Golden Prize to the creative Latin woman (Spain), among others.
We therefore discuss with her about literature as an artistic response to the sociological events of the present time, such as the female migratory experience and the violence associated with it; the textual genesis of testimony as political activism; or the editorial paradigm shift that is taking place because of the development of technology and social networks in which the authors may make their work known.
