Gabi Martínez and Eduardo Romero García in conversation with Luz Helena Oviedo

Natural and human spaces

Medellín 2024, 

The writer and environmental activist Gabi Martínez (Spain) is the author of nine books, including both novels and non-fiction. He is the Director of the Literatura Festival and won the 2022 Serondaya Prize, he is a founding member of the Caravana Negra Association in the defence of culture and nature, and of the Urban and Territorial Ecology Foundation. Furthermore, he is the Co-director of the Animales Invisibles project. His most recent book is Delta, a work that brings to light the reality of the Ebro Delta, which is returning to the sea: the Mediterranean advances on the land at a speed of about ten metres a year. Eduardo Romero García tells a powerful story that links the lives of an old man in Asturias, once a miner, with those of some Afro-Colombian women who reach Europe, and a group of Colombian migrants who flee their country and when they reach their destination they find ships that have brought coal from La Guajira, to a Spanish port. In conversation with Luz Helena Oviedo.
