The inaugural Guadiana Festival of Afro-Ibero-American Literatures was held in Évora, Portugal. Curated by António Sáez Delgado, the event featured 28 authors from nine countries, including Angola, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Spain, Mexico, Nicaragua, Portugal, and São Tomé and Príncipe.

The festival, which is part of the Évora 2027 European Capital of Culture programming, utilized workshops, music, and discussion panels to foster dialogue between diverse literary traditions. The event was designed around the concept of ‘liquid transversality’ to challenge rigid notions of identity and promote the idea of a river that unites different geographies and languages.
