Autobiography Workshop with Beltrán Gambier and Gervasio Posadas

Life in a Few Words

Venue: Centro Penitenciario de Segovia

The Minimal Autobiographies Workshop led by Beltrán Gambier at the Segovia Correctional Facility is a Hay Festival Segovia staple, renewed each year. Gambier was the founder and editor of the magazine Intramuros, which specializes in the genre. Now in its third decade, the publication boasts a roster of prestigious contributors, including Nobel Prize in Literature laureates such as Günter Grass, Herta Müller, and Mo Yan. Gambier is also a lawyer and the author of several legal texts, including one dedicated to prison administrative law. The workshop will feature Gervasio Posadas, a writer, educator, and cultural manager who has directed El Corte Inglés’ Ámbito Cultural since 2018. He is the author of several novels, including Hitler’s Mentalist and ¡The Failure of My Success.

A great opportunity for inmates to participate in a high-level literary activity, in which they will be asked to write an autobiographical excerpt.
