The Festival de la Palabra (Festival of the Word) is a literary event that brings together a hundred or so authors from all over Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the United States. It is held in two cities every year: San Juan and New York. Ninety percent of the authors taking part are Spanish-speaking; the rest write in English, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Arabic and Hebrew. The aim of the festival is to create a space for intercultural debate between both sides of the Atlantic and to promote Spanish language and culture.
The festival will be explored in about 50 activities (roundtables, masterclasses, talks, sessions with students, music concerts, poetry readings and exhibitions) in San Juan de Puerto Rico and New York.
AC/E is supporting the participation of the following Spanish experts and professionals, who will be involved in several activities such as meetings with students, debates, masterclasses, readings, book launches and visits to universities:
