Tbilisi will host the first Ibero‑American Literary Festival from May 11 to 15.
The festival will bring together prominent contemporary writers, translators and publishers from Spain, Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba and Peru. The organizers say the festival aims to create a space for intercultural literary exchange and build new connections between authors in the region.
“Our goal is to lay the foundation for new literary relations. Within the framework of the festival, various spaces in Tbilisi will become platforms for intercultural meetings,” the organizers add.
Key events over the five‑day festival will include meetings with Spanish‑speaking writers, presentations of new translations, and discussions on the contemporary novel, short story, poetry and challenges of translation. A multidisciplinary program will feature a film screening, a performance by the Spanish National Classical Theater and a memorial evening.
