Guest of honor, Mexico
From the moment freedom of expression ceases to be ours, it is no longer freedom. If we cannot state that there are murders perpetrated against women out of some kind of hate, then the language is betraying us.

Laura Baeza
Mexico
Literature is not here to bring us answers but to generate questions

Jean Baptiste del Amo
France
The books contain the words of the wise, the examples of the ancients, the customs, the laws and the religion.

Nuccio Ordine
Italy
In pain there is something luminous and revealing [...] empathy does not grow and you do not understand the fragility that surrounds human life.

Mónica Ojeda
Ecuador
Literature is the best way to evade reality. It lands you with new tools.

Paula Ortiz
Colombia
The illustrator's look is always different [...] the authors want to draw with our hands

Mariana Massarani
Brazil
It is easier to see the limits of others than your own. We do not understand that in diversity there is a hidden richness

Giacomo Mazzariol
Italy

Djamila Ribeiro
Brazil

Arelis Uribe
Chile

Nigeria
