Guadiana Festival of Afro-Ibero-American Literatures held in Évora

The Guadiana Festival of Afro-Ibero-American Literatures recently took place in Évora, Portugal. Conceived by Antonio Saez Delgado, the event aims to promote the idea of a river that unites, using the concept of liquid transversality to challenge rigid notions of identity purity.

The festival focuses on placing literary creators in dialogue regarding their roles in a complex world, seeking to move beyond simplistic ‘us versus them’ mentalities. The structure of the event was designed to address the unpredictability of life and the challenges faced by writers in a modern, volatile era.
