Cultural Managers versus Writers

Sunday 14 September 2025, 1.40pm – 2.30pm –  Biblioteca Municipal de Segovia Casa de la Lectura

The universe of cultural management is as exciting as it is complex and exhausting, where days need to have more than 24 hours and countless pieces have to be put together to push projects ahead. Is there life beyond culture? For some of these cultural managers, there is - but it’s a life still tied to culture, given that they have written and published novels.

From the beginning of her professional career Isabel Fuentes, she has been involved in scientific communication and cultural management. She is currently the director of CaixaForum Madrid. In 2015, she published her first novel, Un gen fuera de la ley, which was nominated for the RAE 2016 literary creation award, and in 2025, her second novel, Hemoglobina. Gervasio Posadas is a writer, trainer and cultural manager who has been the director of Ámbito Cultural at El Corte Inglés since 2018. He is the author of several novels, including El mentalista de Hitler ('The Clairvoyant: The Man Who Predicted Hitler’s Rise to Power') and El fracaso de mi éxito.

Daniel Restrepo is the Social Action Director at Mapfre Foundation and is the author of numerous articles and several books on Ibero-American archives and history. Andrés Pérez Perruca is a cultural manager, musician and writer. He is in charge of Contents and Publications at Espacio Fundación Telefónica. In 2024 he published Vida de un pollo blanquecino de piel fina.

The event will be moderated by Juan Carlos Monroy, Councillor for Culture at Segovia City Council andan expert in cultural management.

There will be a book signing at the end of the event
