On October 13, 2021, Wednesdays at the Center hosted Aida Esther Bueno-Sarduy, an independent filmmaker and an anthropologist at NYU Madrid.
At the event, Bueno-Sarduy presented her short "Guillermina", a film based on a true story that reconstructs the memories of the traces left in a 9-year-old child, the son of a well-to-do family in Havana in the 1940s, by his wet-nurse, a black woman named Guillermina.
Introduced by Miguel Rojas-Sotelo, Director North Carolina Latin American Film Festival, the event was sponsored by Duke University's John Hope Franklin Center, the Duke University Center for International and Global Studies, the Duke University Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and the North Carolina Latin American Film Festival.
