Jhon Narváez in conversation with Frank Báez

From Captain Cartagena to Joe Arroyo

Cartagena 2026, 

The actor, director, cultural manager and the writer of his native land, the Cartagenan Jhon Narváez has extended his voice in various formats. In film, in the role of Moisés in Pájaros de verano or playing Joe Arroyo in Rebelión, a performance that won him the 2023 Macondo Prize, right after overcoming a stroke. He is also a promoter of local and community projects, including Conéctate Caribe, creating the superhero Capitán Cartagena and running the artistic project Pedro Romero Vive Aquí. From the Caribbean to the world, he has kept his roots and local identity. He talks to Frank Baez.

All events on Sunday, February 1st will be free for people with ID from the department of Bolívar. Complimentary tickets can be requested —up to capacity— at the box office of the Hay Festival (Centro de Convenciones) showing your identification on the same day the event is taking place.
