Paula Moreno Zapata in conversation with Gilbert Shang Ndi

Equalities: literature with a diasporic perspective

Cartagena 2025, 

Paula Moreno Zapata, author of Soñar lo imposible and El poder de lo invisible, will engage in a conversation with Gilbert Shang Ndi, a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of Bayreuth and author of several works exploring the African experience and its diaspora. In this conversation, the participants will discuss relevant authors who have not yet been translated and who are significant to the realities of Colombia and the Americas. They will also share their experiences studying African literature, highlighting its icons and the resonances it holds in the American continent.

All Sunday 2 February events will be free for people from the department of Bolívar. Complimentary tickets can be requested at the box office of the Hay Festival (Centro de Convenciones) showing your ID, between 27 Janaury and 2 February.
